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.

Dangit, now you guys are going to make me comment in this thread even though it was coming up on enough said already.
There are a few different "rubber" pan gaskets.
The one Tom commented on is the black OEM style rubber over a steel core and are thick enough to possibly warrant longer bolts or even studs.
These are the ones the OEM uses on 42RH overdrive transmissions. (and probably others of the same species.)
Then there's the crappy rubber gasket about 1/8 thick that comes from your average parts place. (Those suck just as much as cork IMO)
All the best sealing and reusable gaskets are rubber over steel, or rubber over aluminum and thicker.
These also need zero sealants of any kind.
