Header Gaskets; OEM or Supplied?

Just had my Tomei UEL and SME OP HPC'd and about to fit.

Just wondering if those that have fitted the Tomei or others used the supplied gaskets or bought the OEM from Subaru.

Have others had leaking gasket issues with their headers?

I know I've read somewhere on this forum that some supplied gaskets are average at best and lead to leaks, while the OEM are apparently the best available.

Anyone who's worked on cars knows that not all gaskets are equal despite looking the same.

Putting these things on is something one only wants to do once so for the sake of a $28 outlay I'm prepared to pay it if it's a permanent fix.
