fiber or aluminum header gaskets

im in the middle of my 2055 header install, would it be wise to buy a set of aluminum gaskets or should i just use the fiber's? is it worth the buy? has anyone had problems with there fiber's? if so what gaskets are you guys buying. thank you

cause i really dont want to ever take my %$*@$ headers off again

Soft aluminum gaskets are probably best. I use copper ones myself, and they don't leak.
