Which ones would you use and why?
The red ones came with the Barr elbows;
The metal ones are supposedly OEM. If the metal ones are used, I’m assuming the little ridge running along the middle faces up to the elbow? Or does that even matter?
I’m installing new OEM manifolds and Barr elbows and plan to use copper spray gasket stuff per the service bulletin.

Thanks in advance
