I opted for no sealant when I replaced mine about a month ago...just the brand new gasket. No problems / leaks. Just make sure you remove all traces of deteriorating black rubber that sticks to the block from the old water pump gasket. There were a few spots I had to work on for quite a while with a razor blade. I finished the cleanup with some carb clearner / degreaser on a rag and wiped down the mating area.
You will need the sealant for the water inlet housing mating area. I used the blue RTV stuff.
