I've been having good luck with Fel-pro gaskets. You might try using RTV black or some other semi-hardening sealer on the valve cover side, put the gasket on the valve cover and let it set a bit to make sure it sits correctly on the cover then put it on the engine. This has worked very well for the last few I did this on. THis way, if you need to remove one later, the engine side will pop loose easily and if the gasket isn't smushed too bad, you can re-use it.
