Default b18b head gasket question

I was wondering if all b18b head gaskets are metal. I know some older hondas use that other material that feels like you could crumble it like a cookie. I planned on getting a 95 ls gasket for a 95 ls motor ha. I noticed a 98 ls was more expensive which made me wonder if the 95 is that "other" material and the 98 is metal. Please let me know.

Hes talking about the older hondas, like the early 90s and late 80s hondas which used paper headgaskets. But yeah the 95 ls should be metal
