Default How important are aileron gap seals?

Thanks for all the good info, especially the narratives of actual
experience. I was thinking of gap "fairings" as opposed to internal
gap seals
mostly because I suspect internal seals are very difficult to install.
External gap "covering" seems more easily done.
It is interesting to know that this affects roll rate as well as glide
performance.
