Default ALMOST done! Need head gasket advice

After a few days of dropping just over $4,100 in parts, I'm down to my last item, head gaskets. Ive heard the GM MLS is a good way to go. Just wanna get some other people's opinions. The setup I'm preparing for is a set of AFR 205's, comp G5X3 114, slp oil pump, double roller, upgraded racetronix fuel pump, set of lucas #42 injectors, and a new clutch to help me get some of this new power to the ground. .....The tax man was pretty nice to me this year! ... If youre asking yourself why I upgraded the fuel system, I have a 150 wet shot arleady hooked up that is starving for more fuel.

Thanks for any input!

GM MLS. Theyre safe and seal well. Plus theyre dirt cheap.

MLS all the way. You could buy alot of the MLS gaskets for what a set of cometic's will set you back. Not that you would need to buy multiple sets but you get what I am saying. I would just not go with the graphite cause they are a bitch to remove and you never know when plans will change.
