Well, a slightly warped flange could cause the exhaust gases to leak out and fry the gasket faster. This happened to me due to a cheap midpipe.
As for high quality gaskets, you can get them made out of copper. I don't know if anyone pre-makes them for that junction, but you chould be able to take a new gasket to a machine shop and get them to cut it for not too much. Not sure on the thickness, though.
