Default Fel-pro vs. Cometic???

I'm building a 422 and plan on spraying 250 dp shot. I'm needing to find a head gasket that has at least a 4.070 bore and is about .047" compressed. Which one do you all think would be best?? I drive this car on the street alot. It's not a stripper, so I'm not looking at having to change gaskets all the time. All info is appreciated. Thanks

Cometics forsure here.

I have never blown a cometic and I put some serious nitrous through my 408

I know Reher Morrison had to quit using Cometics on their nitrous engines because the gasket wouldn't blow when something went wrong. They had customers melting pistons, blocks, and heads with no gasket failure. They were even re-using the gaskets from the blown up engines a few times over before they replaced them. LOL.
