Default B18B with B16A head...what head gasket?

I am putting a B16A head onto an LS block. What head gasket should I use or is there a custom Hybrid gasket made for this LS/VTEC specifically? I searched and found nothing.

It all depends on which item you want to modify for the dowel pins... either the block (easier IMO) or the head. If you modify the block, use the B16 head gasket. If you modify the head (which you need to for B20-VTEC setups), use the B20 (or LS if you have a LS/VTEC) head gasket. It's not just a simple answer.... it's going to all depend on what you modify for the dowel pins
