Default Couple questions on my heads, please.

I just picked up a set of 241 heads for cheap. I am doing a full P&P job to go with a 228/228 588/588 112 cam. First question is what thickness head gasket should I go with? And second question is would my heads have to be milled, reason I ask is I noticed on the one head that is has some nicks on it. You can feel them with your finger nail but not too bad. Not sure if they will cause leaking or what. I am not sure how much it is to have heads milled but I do not have a lot of disposable cash. so I am hoping that the heads will be alright.
Please let me know what you guys think, and THANKS for any help.

The shop I used charged $100 to mill both heads, better safe than sorry?
