i replace the cork one every time the cover is off - it's cheap and that doesnt happen v often. Never had a leak.

I'd go for rubber, they work fine (off a 1.8 cvh btw) and can be re-used as many times as you want!

I have a rubber one with no problems

the cork ones with the little metal pins either side of the bolt holes are best. over tightening becomes less likely to cause leaks, to be honest its best to just trial and error
