Question Hood pad....replacement.....??

Folks,
I was just getting ready to do a bit of M&R on my 300D......because I will be adjusting the valves, I decided to remove the deteriorated Hood Pad......I had remembered reading a thread here about using a shop vac to suck it off of the hood......

That stuff was surely fragile......it just sucked right off of the hood, leaving a bit of trash stuck to the glue spots......that disappeared with a swipe of the pressure washer.....I was amazed with the ease of removal.....shocked almost....I knew it was fragile but......all I can say here is WOW!!!!

What is the current group thought about replacement hood pads?? I know that there are several different options out there......what have y'all used, and how did it work out.....ease of installation, and durability.....also noise deadening properties.....

Thanx,
SB
