COMETIC...... Even though they will blow too if not installed properly(or of youre not running ARP head studs)..I blew one and i was N/A and it was the Cometic for turbo/NOS applications.

IMO and experience the OEM ones are as good if installed properly

remember most people put too much oil on the studs or headbolts, and when inserting them, the oil rubs on the gasket and gets between the head and on the gasket

I'm going with that too, although if you were to go aftermarket cometic gets my vote. But stock will hold a lot. If your having problems blowing stock head gaskets you need to maybe look elsewhere for the problem.
