Default Which brand head gaskets???

Evening people,

After the answer to the above question if anyone can help, after a search didn't really give anything conclusive.
The car in question is a 2004 sti, going to 2.1 stroke looking for power around the 450 bhp area.
There are quite a few to choose from so want the best I can.
The ones i can think of off the top of my head are the likes of Cometic, Cosworth, RCM and so on.

Any recommendations would be greatly received.

Thanks.

+1 for RCM but more important are the head studs.

I'm already running ARP 11mm head studs but toying with the idea of 12 or 14mm conversion.

What about the Fuji Racing gaskets from ICP? https://importcarparts.co.uk/parts-i...ls&searchPart=

They seem to be expanding their line of performance parts. I have no idea about the quality, just curious.
