Default Head Gasket: which is best?

I have a B18A building for b00st and i was wondering which head gasket is best for this application. I already have 9:1 compression and it doesn't need to be any lower.

I was told OEM, but i figured i'd check here to see if anyone has any other suggestions?

alot of boosting people buy cometic because they make thicker headgaskets to lower compression even more etc... but if u dont need to, OEM works...

check out cometic headgaskets... solid product.
