The OE gasket IS the way to go!!! Stay away from some of the "better" ones that may not be reliable.

Oem or cosworth. The cossie had the best pressure seal but the oem also performed very well. Do NOT get cometic.

Funny. I had planned on posting up this exact same thread. Glad I found this one.

Sounds like OEM is the way to go.

What do you guys think/know about Cometic. I know in the world of other cars they are awesome. I was wondering if any of you EVO guys have used them before and what are your thoughts?

OEM definitely, you'll hear alot of big name shops that still use the OEM and it seals great.
