Default Head Gasket Blown...Why????

I have a b16a2 in my 97 hx and the other day the radiator craked. Shortlyy there after I noticed my head gasket was going bad,(leaking around it) I was wondering what could have caused this. Would the nitrous have anything to do with it??, that is what I was thinking. Also could this have caused the radiator to crack along the plastic cap?? I now am the pround owner of a PWR dual core radiator and a 170 Degree thermostat.
Also Should I go with an OEM head gasket or a cometic one, i plan on adding a turbo soon. I also plan on putting in head studs with this head gasket change
Thanks
