Replaced them with Yam OEM from Fowlers. I always tend to use OE for what I consider critical parts, never had any problems with them (apart from cost, but its only every 25k so justifiable)
When I did the 4 degree ignition advancer mod, I bought a pattern gasket which I think was about a third of the price on an OEM one.
There again, if you really want to save money, you can buy gasket sheet and cut out the required shape from that (not tried this myself, yet...)

When I upgraded the fork springs to Hyperpro, I bought a box full of assorted sized copper crush washers which was about the same price as buying three Yamaha ones!

I've similar boxes of assorted washers/circlips/o rings etc accumulated over time, sadly the copper washer box did not go small enough in size and I couldn't obtain a correct sized one from any local engineering/automotive suppliers, hence a call to and trip to CMC. Having disturbed the fuelling system, I'll check and balance the throttle bodies at some point this week
