interesting topic!
i have recently had a leaking sump gasket.
local garage went with a motorfactor part which still leaked so i bought a ford one and got them to fit it and it seems to have done the trick.

The Motorcraft rubber gasket was not good. Too big so it was a nightmare to get it to fit. And its leaks oil all around, not much, but some. Would try another brand, but now I will try the cork type.

I have and recently bought a new rubber Ford one - £19 it was
I need it as taking sump off etc - they last for 13 years if fitted properly which most people can't seem to do so well

There is a technique to fitting cork gaskets. Golden rule is NO SEALER unless absolutely nessesary. On a sump, fitting the gasket is a little difficult unless you use sealer to hold it in place though. If you use sealer, this allows the gasket to be squashed too easily and it slides out of the sides of the sump and splits as you tighten it.
All sealing surfaces need to be clean, dry and oil free (completely) and then you have a chance of them sealing.
