You should be fine with the stock headgasket. If you blow it up, then just buy ARP head studs and a new gasket and you'll be good to go. Or you can do the ARP's before head if it makes you feel better.

Do not do 2 gaskets though. That's not a good idea.

b16 is a low comp motor anyways, u'll be fine with a stock gasket up to 300whp.
