"Shour, Aloof and Obnoxious" (shour)

Good morning, Oppo. I pray your Christmas was filled with peace or joy or both. (Depending on your living situation, especially concerning younger children, much joy may not equal much peace. ^_^ )
I have located a serviceable exhaust manifold for the LS, and am happily waiting for it to arrive. I don’t KNOW, but I would assume that replacing the cracked manifold will also require replacing the manifold gasket as well, yes? (Remember, wrench-work is not my wheelhouse.) If this is the case, there seem to be numerous options available when it comes to sourcing said gasket, including Ebay, Amazon, RockAuto, and a hojillion other online sources. I’m also fairly certain I could source them from AutoZone, O’Reilly, Napa, or Pep Boys, even with special order. So, there’s kind of a whole slew of questions that kind of come with this:
I’mma need to replace the gasket, too, right?
Do I need to be on the lookout for a poor quality product, or are they all the same in reality?
Is there really any advantage to paying $25 + shipping from an online source versus paying $30-35 from AutoZone or PepBoys locally?
Will I need to designate which side, or can the gasket be flipped around and fit either side?
Any shared experience or advice will be happily read, hopefully before the part arrives.

Are we talking GM LS?
