Motor Rebuild

I'm about to have my motor pulled for new rings. Who makes the best head gasket or are all of them pretty much the same as long as they are name brand metal? For the rest of the motor is OEM gasket still the best way to go?

Just buy the full OEM gasket set and you're good to go.

OEM!

If you want to be cool, a Cosworth Cosmetic HG is always a solid option.
