Default fibre or rubber washers?

Hi,

I see Tool station sell rubber and fibre washers:

http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plum.../sd2703/p99026
and
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plum.../sd2703/p85591

is one better than the other?

My instinct is that rubber would be longer lasting?


Fibre washers are used in tap connectors & some washing machine hoses
because the fibre swells up when wetted & seals better.
