Some of the manufacturers (Dorman?) include a soft plastic washer or gasket, with their drain plugs. Bad experience with this, as the plastic deforms and gives way under compression and leaves you with a leaky plug installation (or I suppose it could fall out entirely). I would just stay with the copper.
I'm a cheapskate, and I'll sometimes place a used copper washer in a big, strong vice and get it all flattened and true again - then it will work fine.
