Go OEM, they're plenty strong enough and you can trust them. Just don't run low on coolant, that's what kills head gaskets.

I heard bad against D series OEM head gasket. Any replacement head gasket will do the trick really on a stock D15...

OEM Honda head gaskets are great don't skimp on it unless you want to do it again, but get one for a 92-95 or just make sure it is the metal style and not the paper, thats the only problem with the 88-91 OEM gaskets

Like $60-$70 I think from honda, may be cheaper too I forget haven't bought one for a while, just call your local dealer and ask for 92-95 civic headgasket I think i got one for a z6 and it was fine, I believe they are all the same between d15 and d16

i put a cheapie $30 parts store one on mine, i sprayed both sides with the permatex copper spray the turbo guys use just to be safe. make sure you use the <U>NEW</U> torque sequence not the one listed in most helms manuals, honda put out a sevice bulletin awhile ago but its not in the manual. you torque it in three smaller steps instead of two big steps, and the final footlb's are slightly higher if i remember correctly
