You would only put one gasket on. I'd recommend going with the MLS (metal) gasket.

Metal is a crush gasket, much better, last longer, fits tight, love you long time!

I haven't used a header gasket on anything in over a year. Nothing but high temp silicone sealant. Fits every time, <$5, never leaks.

You're good here!

Yes, use the MLS gasket (multi layer steel).

Did you get speed engineering headers?

I did and got the MLS gaskets that I optioned in and the graphite or whatever ones also.
