Fasta file from Gencode

If I have to use gff3 file of gencode as gene model (gencode.v35.annotation.gff3.gz ) which Fasta file should be used for alignment from https://www.gencodegenes.org/human/ as summarized in image below

sequence alignment

Do you plan to do traditional alignment (e.g. hisat2 or bwa, bowtie2...) or is this RNA-seq and you want to use quantifiers such as salmon or kallisto?

Primary assembly fasta is what you need. If you are interested in haplotypes etc then get this file instead. Differences are noted in the description column.
