Default Manifold Gasket

My SVO came with no head to turbo manifold gasket from the factory. The previous owner had his turbo rebuilt, and the shop put a gasket on the car. This gasket is now leaking (as do most SVO's with gaskets after 5-10k miles).

Dave (ForceFed23) recommended copper RTV as he and his turbo 2.3 gurus have had great luck with the stuff. There is also a copper gasket available through an aftermarket supplier. Do these actually hold under the high heat and pressure? What does everyone here use?
