I'm Awesome
On my little 10 bolt, I found the previous owner had used sealant only, and it was holding. Since I had already bought the gasket, I decided to use it, so I had to clean all the old sealant off. I used a very small amt of sealant as mentioned by Justin S, and it's been absolutely leak free. On the 10 bolt, the bolts are tightened star pattern, but only to about 15 or 18 pound feet.
