Default Evo base cylinder gasket replacement

I'm lookiing for some advice on who makes the best gasket for an EVO cylinder base. This will be the 3rd time in 20 years that I've had to replace the cylinder base gaskets. Anybody have any advice on the subject? The stock HD gasket looks to be a little on the thin side. Do I need to get 1 that has some thickness to it?

Ya I know this is a problem with the beast. I also do let it warm up before riding!

Everybodies 2cents appreciated!

Did same job 18 months back and no problem with leaks.
Used James gasket top end gasket set with a Hayden Oil Fix. http://www.haydensm6.com/tof_single.htm
