Default What head gaskets?

Ive got a TSP torquer V2 camshaft on a stock bottom end. I called up and spoke with TSP, and they said that I could run the Stage 2.5 5.3L heads without having PTV clearance problems and without flycutting. My question to you, is what kind of head gaskets and what thickness should I use. I remember when we did my friend's head/camswap, we used Cometec (spelling???) gaskets and didnt have issues.

Thanks in advance guys.

Let me simplify... can I use stock GM head gaskets with this setup?

I just used cometics on my buildup, start it later this week so we'll see if i have issues. My surface was PERFECT, so i dont expect any problems (~knock on wood~)
