Intake Gasket Trouble

I just pulled my Edelbrock Performer intake because I found a vacuum leak, and found that I no doubt over torqued the intake, and smashed the gasket. It had moved around, and split in several spots. This as I recall is a Fel-Pro Print-o-seal gasket. I torqued it originally to the specs provided by Edelbrock, but last summer I found seveal extremely loose intake bolts and re-torqued to 22ft lbs. Question is, do I need to use a Print-O-Seal gasket, or will a standard Fel Pro gasket work? I have these handy, and they appear to be re-inforced around the ports, the pront-o-seal is not. Oh BTW I have Edelbrock aluminum heads also.
