What is the best oil pan gasket???
 

Just took the pan off my "new" engine. It had a cork gasket on it. So the question I have now is what is the best kind to use now? I see they have paper, rubber but don't see cork advertised with the vendors any more. So would appreciate some advise as to what is best to use now.

New stuff for this old guy and want to do it correctly so it lasts awhile and doesn't have the old A mark it's territory wherever it goes.

I like the original paper gasket.
torque to about 20 ft-lbs. Cork will not take that much torque.
