If you go for the cork gasket coat it both sides before installing.
A quick spray with aluminium based paint is usually enough but any form of gasket sealant is suitable. I use Hylomar or Stag because I have them handy.
This stops it soaking up oil and becoming weak which is normally what causes them to blow out in the first place.

Cheers , Pete.
