'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

Vesrah? NE? Copper? Felt? OEM? Does it even make enough of a difference?

I have always used copper just because they were the first ones that cropped up when I went shopping. I wouldn't care who makes them.
Felt?

I have only used the ones that are aluminum with the paper insides but I would think copper would be the way to go because if I'm thinking correctly you should be able to anneal and reuse those right? Or is that only done on  copper head gaskets ?

No. The copper is formed into a tube structure that gets deformed when the clamps are tightened. I've reused mine many times. When you take the pipes off they are usually jammed tight in the heads so are perfeclty formed to make a seal.They only cost pennies anyway.

@LesterPiglet Sorry, I wrote that quickly while at work and didn't really think much on it. By felt, I was referring to these gaskets I see online that look like they are lined with some cloth material, maybe it's cotton? Looks kinda like pipe cleaner, but hard to tell.

Where can I score some of those copper crush gaskets? I can't seem to find any online that fit the CB350F. Would CB400 gaskets fit? I'd also like to only spend a few bucks per gasket here, if possible.

If it comes down to it, I'll just grab the aluminum ones. I was mostly just wondering if it made any real difference.

Thanks.
