Some help selecting Gaskets

I am installing a set of TSP stage 2.5 LS6 heads on my 99. Car has the 853 castings, so I may have the notch on them.

What do you guys recommend for the gaskets?

Will I need a set of valve cover gaskets as well?

Not 100% sure but i think ls6 heads use the mls gaskets and they do not have the notch like your ls1 heads. And as long as your ls1 valve covers have bolts in the center you can reuse those.

I have read a few reviews and most people are swearing by these cometics. I don't see them on a sponsor.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
