Default Boosted b16a2 headgasket question

I am about to do a b16a2 build going to use stock bore with JE pistons and a dart sleaved block just trying to determine what headgasket i should use and why

A) stick with honda oem gasket
B) do cometic
C) Something diffrent from first to choices and why

My power goals are to be around 450-500 on pump gas going to be running b16 head with GSR cams full ferri valve train Skunk2 intake mani vented valve cover and block vented as well Prescion sc61 turbo 2.5 piping RFL BoV prescion 500+ intercooler eagle H beams acl bearings polished crank, The only thing keeping me from putting it togeather is the headgasket atm pleas elmk what you would do !

(sorry my spelling sucks it so late !)
