Default what head gasket should i use ?

I have a turbo b16 with stock internals, i just blew the head gasket. just wondering what head gasket i should buy ? I'v heard from a couple people to stick with the oem honda gasket, but i kind of would like to go with a thicker head gasket.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ?

No -- the OEM head gasket is fine although some oem headgaskets blow- i believe your b16 should be ok... You need to get the motor machined and some ARp head studs to clamp your **** together
