Default head gasket question?

Im replacing my head gasket believe its blown and Im also going to get it shaved in case it warped or whatever. I read that some say to just use honda oem which is fine. Can I just use the honda head gasket and buy a cheaper set for other things like the exhaust, grommets etc. and be safe. Any help is great and the reason I believe its the head gasket is it smells like coolant burning, theres white smoke and the engine sounds baaaaaaaaddddddddd oh and did I mention white smoke thanks

People have had success with the eBay gasket sets. I'm one of them, but the gaskets weren't used enough for me to give you a solid answer.
