Most any washer will do, even a well used one, if a little RTV is used as a sealer on each side of the washer. A small amount of sealer all that is nessesary to fill the very small gaps remaining after properly torquing the plug. There is very little pressure on the oil behind the plug, so it doesn't take much to seal it. I used the same washer for over 100K miles with 15K drains in a couple 9000's.
Pulling the drain plug removes a fair amount more oil than just removing the filter cover. It is less messy if the drain plug is removed first to drain most of the oil. That leaves less oil to gush out when the 3 screw filter cover is removed.
