Default Which head gaskets for LQ9's on a '98 block?

Like the title says...which gaskets work best on a 98 block with 317 heads? I've seen a lot of varying opinions on this and I'd like to finally clear this up. Anyone know for sure?

I'm using these: 12589227 on my 99 block with 317 heads. They are 6.0L MLS gaskets and seal up just fine. I got mine from TSP for $45+shipping, for the pair. Awesome deal as most places wanted that much each.

i thought i saw somewhere you had to use the 98 gaskets or coolant would leak at one corner.

It's the 97-99'ish heads that are different. The blocks are the same.

You can call www.Cometic.com they have alsways pointed me in the right direction and even though their prices are higher than tsp they do specialise in gaskets
