Best head gasket for my setup?

Finishing up my car and am confused on which head gasket to go with, it is a stock bottom end, the heads surface have been machined, the cam is a XFI 280. I want something that is going to be reliable, I drive this car to the track and race it, then drive it home, and daily drive it alot.

Based on what criteria?

On a stock shortblock you could almost always use the extra compression a thinner gasket can offer.

anything thinner is not going to raise the comp enough for you to see any gains anyway
