Default Best headgasket to get?

I have searched around and see a lot of people use cometic. Is this really the best one to get?

I currently have a cometic headgasket and just blew it the other day so I am kind of skeptical. My engine is a B16A2 running on only 7psi of boost...

Run an oem hg on a boosted engine? Wouldn't it have a higher chance of blowing?

OEM will be fine. If you "blew" a head gasket running only 7 lbs. of boost, something else was behind the failure.

OE for sure. My cometic leaked oil after I put it in so I switched to a stock one.
