A sorbo would be good, too.
You didn't even look up the ARS piston/cyl head did you lol
ARS cylinder head has an extra thick sorbo pad built in, and their piston head IS made of POM.
Odd note; I've machined POM before and it is just fantastic to work with

I've got a falcon green in my 249 and I actually found it to be quite comparable to the firefly rubber in terms of performance, and they all fly perfectly straight. It's got a tougher design than the firefly since it's a solid bar with a cutout instead of two fingers, but time will tell how the material holds up against wear!
