Default Header Gaskets. Fel-Pro or Silicone?

I am about to install my headers. AFR heads calls for a 1405 Fel-Pro and to torque my ARP bolts to 20 lbs with anti seize. ARP calls for 36 lbs on their bolts and says that a bead of clear silicone on the flange of the header works better than a gasket. I would like to know which of the two would be the better way to go, so that the bolts don't back out and cause a exhaust leak. I want to do this one time and one time only.
