I like the Victor Reinz, but they are hard to get here.  I usually get a few sets off RockAuto to have on hand.

I recently used the Edelbrock Gaskets.
Everything sealed up well, but they do not lock in place, so after setting the intake you might need to do a little gasket shifting.  Frustrating to say the least.  Despite them working fine I doubt I'd use them again.

Hate to be boring, but the plain old Mr. Gasket 202As are my favorites.  They are just composition gaskets, but they lock in place and have always sealed up well for me.  I must have bought over 100 sets when I was doing my intake testing LOL!
