Default Which Head Gasket?

I am frustrated, because all of the searching i have done, has left me confused, and well still clueless.

I need to get head gaskets for my motor build up.

Its a 6.0 block, bored out to 4.062.
Stage 3 TEA Ls6 heads are going on it.

Can I use the ls7 gasket? the l92 gasket?

Can someone please give me a reccomendation..Im going nuts over this

Get a cometic gasket they come in MANY sizes!

You want something around 4.090 - 4.100" range... Thickness all depends on your goals....

I took this from Cometic;s site.

So anyone of these will work in my application?
I just need to decide on the thickness?

Are these the best way to go? I am ready to order today just double checking.
