WHat gasket material do you guys use for your oil pan drain plugs??

Hard to beleive, but I still have the original gaskets as far as I know on my drain plugs. I need to replace them. The originals are plastic.

Right now i have the blue neoprene stye gaskets, copper gaskets and a couple of new plugs plugs that have molded on rubber on the ends. Unsure which to go with.

What do you guys use that reliably does not leak?

dead soft copper or the molded blue rubber would be what i used. ive used them in the past with out issue. the volvo uses a aluminum or steel not sure which (the company i order from ships the with the filter) and they have to be replaced every oil change which i think SUCKS
