Default Best SBC Valve Cover Gaskets

I had a set of Felpro Rubber gaskets with Orange sealing ribs and metal crush limiters around the bolt holes that worked great on my SBC for 10+ years. After a few years of sitting with very sporadic use they started to fail and it doesn't look like Felpro makes that same model any more. So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement.

I tried the cheap-o Jegs rubber gaskets with steel inserts and have had issues with them slowly leaking. Valve covers have been checked for flatness and I'm running a PCV system.

So...what SBC valve cover gaskets have people had good luck with? Budget is not so much an issue, just want something that won't leak down the back of my motor onto my new clutch.
