Steve,
I use 2 different types, depending on what I'm building.
My 32 cell reactor has 6" round plates. For this I use Buna-N square stock 'O' rings.
For my 14 cell 6x9 reactor, I use the walk-in freezer 'curtain material'.
Lots of folks also use the rubber shower-liner. I haven't tried that yet.

I use high temperature 1/16" thick EPDM gaskets in my dry cell. No issues or leaks.
