Which valve cover gasket?

What valve cover gaskets are you guys using which the Canton Aluminum valve covers? I ordered a pair and need to order gaskets now... I think I have new factory style gaskets but not sure if that will work?

What else do you guys do to get a good seal? Set in RTV or anything?

Just order some quality fel-pro blue rubber ones with the steel shim inside and they'll last a long time.
