Use the OEM seal, if there are no rough spots to tear into it, it should be good for at least 100K miles.

Fel-Pro is OEM (Original Equipment Manufature).

Fel-Pro is also a good choice for the intake manifold gasket set too.

Stick with Fel Pro. It's a blue silicone v/c gasket.

Just stick with the plain old OEM style. They seal as good as any others.
