Correct ones are having a small opening in the body, for self-bleeding, this opening should be upwards when installing into the seal.

I got mine together with the new alloy thermo tower, but I think they are all over the place, just check the correct temperature-open range (I think around 80C, but you better search the forum than rely on me ).

When changing gaskets on anything that's supposed to seal, it doesn't hurt to add a little silicone sealant to aid the sealing. If you buy OEM thermostat it generally comes with a nice meaty seal, but as Eric says the Alloy towers normally come with a similar seal.
Before opening up the thermostat, drain the coolant by opening the tap at the bottom of the radiator or by extracting it via the expansion tank. This will save you drenching the belt and pulleys with liquid and flooding the engine valley.

I used a small handpump, and just sucked some of the coolant out from the expansion tank.
The bottom of the tank is about the same level as the lower part of the thermostat tower.
And your knock sensors are in the valley, they will be destroyed by coolant, you don't want that to happen ... $$$
