Oil pan: Canton, Stefs, or ???

It looks like I'll never get my Stefs pan to quit leaking. I just finished the most careful and thorough in-car oil pan gasket replacement I can possibly do, and I think it's still leaking at the front and back half-round interfaces. So...

What other options are out there for stroker pans besides the winged Canton? This car does not get road raced or autox'ed so I don't need fancy baffling. And since it has a BMR cradle and no exhaust crossover pipe I could probably use a Vette pan.

So none of you guys are using anything besides stock, Canton, or Stefs oil pans?
