I have tube style stainless steel manifolds, not cast iron. I see this all metal GM OE part for about $20,

Either of those should work great as long as they match the port shape. Both are compressible type. Ive used the RA ones with great success, including on headers.
 
You are a pro lurker.

What Zim said. I use the composite only. Make sure your bolts do not bottom out. They need to be shorter than the stock. And retighten after a couple of heat cycles.
