You need to use gaskets that have the ring built into them. You did do that when you swapped heads. In any case, you don't have near the power to NEED o-ringed heads, so you need to figure out what caused the failure before you just try and throw high dollar parts at it. There are a bunch of reasons you get a head gasket failure right after putting new ones in.
