Manifold gaskets

[hangarb7]

I am sure I am going to get multiple answers, just like asking about what kind of oil should I use or whether to use antifreeze or not.... but here goes.

I have received several sets of manifold gaskets from Model A'ers cleaning out their garages, etc. Two years ago I replaced the manifold gasket with a fiber gasket that had a dimpled metal facing on both sides, similar to the blown gasket I took out.

It has now failed (or actually slowly failed during the tour season last year)

I also have a solid fiber gasket available and a really old, but clearly unused gasket that is fiber but has copper bushings that actually slip into the holes a short distance.

What type do folks recommend?

Thanks,
