Default Head Gasket Question

I know you guys keep saying to get an oem headgasket, but its hard to find an oem one for a decent price.
So I have a question
Are Beck Arnley and Fel Pro head gaskets any good?
I want to get one of these
thanks

you get what you pay for. if you use one of the BA or FELPRO, they are used all the time by regular engine builders...so if your car is stock, i'm sure it will work just fine.

I've never had a problem with either of them. I've put them through all sorts of hell as well.

I've heard they stand up pretty well too. However, I would always choose OEM over aftermarket.

Get a Y8 head gasket its like 40 bucks from the dealer. If you can't afford a $40 headgasket then I'd invest in a bicycle.
