I prefer the spray on tacking type.
This way you can achieve a very thin film Vs a buildup of gasket goo.

I’m sure you already know but remember the larger housing gasket gets tacked to the housing
and the smaller bypass gasket is tacked to the block.
You can also apply a very thin coat of grease on the outward face of the gaskets to help with the slide action,
However if all machined surfaces are checked and cleaned well it isn’t necessary.
