Most would say oem mitsu.
I would go oem mitsu =)
Or
Hks.

Go for a grommet or fire ring style. Where the cylinder is sealed with a rolled lip and not exposed to the multilayer sheets. The multilayer sheets expose the risk of a leak.

I am currently going back to Copper Head Gaskets, On a certain Starion it's the only thing that has kept together. This enigine is running 30PSI for 30min Sessions. The MLS Gaskets Cometic, HKS & OEM failed. I now have 3 Copper units on the shelf for engines I build.
