Paper or plastic?

SO im at the point in my 3.0 rebuild that its time to put the oil pump/ rear main seal/etc back on and i notice in my master seal kit it includes paper gaskets for
the various stuff that currently had RTV as sealant.

As this is defintaly NOT something i want to have to fix later because it starts leaking....

DO you go with the paper gaskets included in the kit?

OR

Do you go with RTV which was on it orginally?

I've used RTV in other vital areas with no leaks whatsoever.

Ive used RTV on the water pump and upper idler pully in the past, but im wondering what to do with the oil pump and rear main seal... (both of which i have paper gaskets for not to mention the water pump)

pros/cons of each...
