Default .040 or .054 Headgasket thickness?

My original order for my SCE ICS Titan headgaskets didnt go through for some reason which is kinda of good because I ordered .040s and ahve wondered if I should have went .054. Main thing I am trying to decide is what is going to benefit me more power wise, having better quench or less CR for more boost. Thoughts? Im going to re-order again tomorrow and just looking for opinions.
