Get the set with the silicone bead.

The red silicone ones are great. Don't leak and are re-usable.

I second this recommended, just be sure not to over tighten.

I'm using the factory ones with the silicon bead and they are working famously. The factory-without didn't, at least on my motor.

The cardboard under the car is 100% clean.

I had a silicone set on mine for over 20 years without any issues. One got torn on my last valve adjustment so I replaced with Wrightwood. You won't go wrong either way.

I've been using the Victor Reinz valve cover gaskets with the silicone beads for the past few years. I reuse them when removing the valve covers for clearance checks. So far, I have reused them several times with no leaks.

+1 for the VR gaskets. They also come with nuts and washers as a full set.

You are lucky not here in Europe everything you have to buy separately.....
