Default what head gasket for b20vtec

Okay I know i know everybodys going to say b20 head gasket or get the golden eagle or alot of things. But my question which one is best to use can I just use OEM honda b20 head gasket or its better to use aftermarket. If aftermarket which one do you guys recomend and do you really prefer this over oem gasket. Let me know whatchu guys think. Last this is out of topic but I have a b16 head already but can get a hold of a gsr head which head you guys think is better ive searched and found different answers so let me know whatchu guys thing about this one. Im running the b16 and its seems its has now power in higher rpms I dont know why but I cant really feel it and not satisfied how it is. So im thinking of going gsr and hope that the higher RPM has a better power compared to the b16.

What the... b20 block is 84 mm bore and the b18 is 81mm why the hell would he use a b18 head gasket and those head studs a short ( not for his application) the b16 heads width and little thicker than the b18's I belive but even at that your suppose to match the studs with the block but I already had a gsr arp head studs so i used that instead whcih are still okay.
