5.3 odds n ends

did a search and it didnt tell me what i was looking for. i need a set of head gaskets for my 5.3 and i was wondering where the best place to get them was. also i need a oil pump and a timing chain and timing cover gasket. should i go LS2 or get some sort of double roller? thanks in advance

GM part numbers.
12457116 -4.8L/5.3L GM Graphite Head Gasket each
12575329 -4.8L/5.3L GM MLS Head Gasket each
12574294 -Front Timing Cover Gasket
12585673 -Front Timing Cover Crank Seal
I've heard good things about PartsTaxi. I ordered some LS6 valve springs and seals from them that should be here tomorrow.
I'm going with the SLP timing chain and pump combo FWIW. Whenever I get it back from the machine shop.
