Bestquality gasket I have used, and really came across:

http://www.rolmfg.com/

ROL-HG32841HR - .039"– Graphite with Steel Core and Stainless Fire Ring
ROL-HG32841HT - .045"– Graphite with Steel Core and Stainless Fire Ring

More information on some others...

FPP-1011-1 - .041†– Steel Wire Ring
FPP-1011-2 - .039†– Copper Wire Ring
FEL-9333PT-1 - .047†– Permatorque MLS (multi-layer steel)

MLS is what most OEM rides are using at the current time.

The thicker, the more volume they have, which equals less static compression.
