Format lists in VIM

I would like to find a way to easy format lists in Vim.
I checked PAR and the default formatter of Vim.

p.e. 

1. this is my text this is my text this is my text 
2. this is my text this is my text this is my text 
3. this is my text this is my text this is my text 
4. this is my text this is my text this is my text

and this 

- this is my text this is my text this is my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is my text

when I select the lines and do a default format to 42 with PAR and VIM these are the results:

NUMBERED LIST

formatting with par:
par error:
(42) <= (0) + (50)

formatting with vim: 

1. this is my text this is my text this is
my text 
2. this is my text this is my text this is
my text 
3. this is my text this is my text this is
my text 
4. this is my text this is my text this is
   my text

LIST with '-'

formatting with par:
4 lines filtered (no change)

formatting with vim: 

- this is my text this is my text this is
  my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is
  my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is
  my text 
- this is my text this is my text this is
  my text

Vim does a better job formatting lists but it is not correct as well in a numbered list.
Par does have a lot of troubles formatting lists even when I use the prefix ("p") option like this:
'<,'>!par w42p4dh or '<,'>!par w42p3dh

Does anyone know a good way how to format lists without problems?
