I don't know if any one is better then the others I have used them all , I will say stock pans are thin and can get out of shape by overly tight bolts, so check your pan around the bolt hole areas when you pull it ,make sure they are flat and not pulled in. and all gasket surface is flat.

make sure surfaces are 100% clean and dry , some guy add a tack spray to help them make the install easier ,some don't everyone has there own way .

Also use a 1/4'' socket rather a 3/8 this will help you get the lite torque spec with out over tightening the bolts . this is the most important part... over tight the bolts and you will be back to square one.... (leak)
