Default mugen or spoon thin headgasket which raises c/r higher?

i'm deciding on which one to get. not sure which one right now.
i also read that you could take the copper rivets out of a stock headgasket.
take the middle layer out and use the bottom and top layer? any opinions on this.

The Spoon 2piece headgasket raises compression by 0.2

As for DIY taking out the middle layer of a stock gasket, do at your own risk! Some people have done it with no problem, but if you screw up... o well!

They raises the same CR but Spoon has better sealing.

spoon thin headgasket go for about $130, should bump it up to 0.2 -0.3 in c/r.
i haven't heard anything bout them failing. they seem high quality.
