Any more detail of the piping info, such as material, operation condition, etc.?
IMO, based on the piping material and/or flange joint type, the spiral wound gasket may go with the RF flange, as rubber gasket may be used in the FF flange.

There are many 'paper' gaskets that suitable for water duty. But if there are water hammer events on your line spiral wound maybe better.
