Default Oil Pan gasket preferences?

Hey guys, my oil pan gasket looks to be leaking really badly. I'm gonna go ahead and order a new one from summit. Gaskets are gaskets but I thought I'd see if anybody had good/bad results from different types. I see they have single or multi-piece, rubber with steel cores, straight rubber, composite, silicone/cork... etc. Brands like fel-pro, frpp, trickflow....
Anyway, if you guys used something, and it works great.. just float me a response
Thanks

You will have to pull the engine lightly if you want to stick a one piece gasket in. I had same problem with my oil pan gasket.

i liked my one piece fel pro ultra seal gasket. its a blue dry gasket with rings so you cant crush it around the bolts
