The best axle "gaskets" are soft metal, either copper or aluminum, and need to be coated with a non-hardening gasket sealer. If there is any movement at all between the axle and the hub, even a few thousandths, a paper gasket will be damaged and start leaking. Bigger full-floater rear hubs have tapered metal cones that grip the bolts tightly and fit into corresponding tapered holes in the axle flange to prevent any movement. 3/4 and 1 ton rear axles usually don't have them, but the OEM bolts have an unthreaded shank under the head that's a very close fit to the holes in the flange.
