just get a aftermarket one from fel pro or the like and get trhe best one they got then you wont have to take too much thought into it

You install the Teflon dry. You pre oil the rubber seals but the teflon you dont. If you pre oil it then the seal wont seal. They come with instructions so make sure you read how to get it ready for install.
