Increasing compression, mill or gasket? Is it better to have the heads milled to increase compression? Or should I leave the heads alone and check the rise of the pistons and gauge the thickness of the head gasket on that to raise the compression?

.020 milled off the head and an .043 cometic gasket.
Stock compression pistons and used a .581 lift camshaft. No issues at all.
