Default Rocker gasket helppp

Ok so spoken to two people 1 said I should use and the other said not to use a gasket sealent on the rocker cover gaskets, I have new Subaru gaskets and was wondering if it's best to seal them in place for extra protection

You should order new bolts and rubber washers for the sake of an extra £20 and seal around them as well, then you really wont need to do it again, and i think they need to be torqued at 5Nm if memory serves me right.
