Personally I'd stay with a soft copper washer and while it's apart I'd check the mating surfaces of the lid and the underside of the bolt for irregularities. Copper was chosen for a reason (most rubbers will swell and soften over time when in contact with hot oil and will probably only be a temporary fix) and if it leaks I'd look for the reason and fix it.
