Based on the product pdfs on the permatex web site #2 gasket sealant looked to be the choice for the application (i.e. - you are using a paper gasket) vs ultra black gasket maker (i.e. - may or may not have a gasket to start with)

I'll recheck the pan when I get home tonight to see how she's holding up, but when I blotted the edge with a paper towel (where pan meets engine) after my early morning test drive - I did not pick up a single speck of oil. I'm not ready to claim victory yet, but that was great to see this morning.
