A question that is sort of like "what is the best oil?", you'll get lots of opinions.

I use the Best 509G with copper spray on both sides. Others have had success using the "original" copper head gaskets. Some have had success with the so-called "modern" silicone-enhanced gasket but I have not.

I use the BEST 509G also.

JayJay, you ever hear anything on your Mitchell? PM sent.

Negative on hearing anything, but I haven't asked. I'm not ready for it anyhow and no point in bugging Steve & Co. It will happen when it will happen.

The answer is in the question.
Best is the brand. They make a great composite construction head gasket.

It seems to be unanimous that "Best" is the one to use. I echo Jay Jay's answer.
It remains unanimous!
