Best exhaust manifold gaskets

Folks, I'm changing my exhaust at the weekend on my factory 3.5 V8 90 and I'm going to fit a set of Hedman header branch manifolds at the same time.

Ideally I want to fit and forget them, so I am looking to source the most appropriate manifold gaskets for the Hedmans, can anyone with actual experience of this job advise if I am best sticking with the older style individual gaskets,

or using the later style metal gaskets

Many thanks

Thanks for your contribution

i prefer the later type easier to fit too,studs are also better and also aid fitting if your flanges have enough room for the nuts,the last branch manifolds i fitted would only take allen bolts

Many thanks, I got the later gaskets and a stud kit, the chap making my stainless exhaust said the hedman's were a nightmare to fit, but it's all done now and I collect it tonight.

Thanks again
