I used the rubber gasket. No sealant. I didn’t know they were reusable. Guess I have an extra now.
the reusable gasket is like an 1/8" thick hard black plastic with a printed silicone double bead on both sides. It is NOT rubber. They cost like $20 or $25. Not cheap in the short term, but more than pay for themselves in the long run. I've heard they're good for at least a half dozen reuses. Also they don't distort the pan sealing surface like a rubber or cork gasket, when the bolts are tightened.I used the rubber gasket. No sealant. I didn’t know they were reusable.

Do u have a link for that pan gasket. Thanks. KimUse the red fiber Duprene gasket; about $3.50. No sealer whatsoever. Do not straighten the pan; instead knock the holes down further than straight at least 1/16" to 1/8". The bolts will press the surface exactly as it is needed. Never any leaks.
How many do you want Kim?Do u have a link for that pan gasket. Thanks. Kim

Please be aware that the new gaskets typically use slightly longer bolts. Stock short ones may be an issue on older transmissions that have the first few threads getting weaker. I think Mancini and A&A sell the gasket and longer bolts.
