Jet-Hot header gaskets

What you guys think of the Jet-Hot header gaskets that come with the headers?
They looked good to me, but I'd like to hear some experiences, good or bad about how good these gaskets hold up.

I've heard they're not super great... I'll be using Fel-Pro when I get my Jet-Hot LTs. Can't speak from any experience though...

I'm willing to give it a try. I know they may not compare with the best gaskets in the market, but you never know until you experience first hand. I've actually had good results using GM Stock metal gaskets, which I was planning on using this time, but my mechanic beat me to it, and by the time I've got to the shop, he had already installed it. He said he looked it over, and saw no reason to doubt it would work so, I'm confident it should be no problems. I would still like to hear some opinions one way or the other.

I am in a similar boat. I am about to order Pacesetter LTs, and I know for a fact that the gaskets they include are not the best. They are supposedly cheap-o paper ones.

What would be a nice way to top off the header installation--Fel Pro? I know this is the typical one, but they do make nice stuff..

ideas?
