I use the rubber composite style.  I avoid the cork and rubber impregnated cork like the plague.  

Last time I installed them I used sealer on one side to the valve cover, and based on recommendations from others on this list I used Vasoline on the head side.  I've not seen any leaks and they are easy to remove.
