That depends on what you want to do. The 1011-1 and 1011-2 is what AFR reccomends. The 8548pt2 is considered by some to be a sturdier gasket, but has a thicker compressed thickness .047 as opposed to the .040(roughly) of the 1011's. Compressed thickness will change your compression ratio and quench distance. Those3 are Fel Pro's.As far as copper head gaskets etc, I couldn't tell you really. Just don't use crappy gaskets, get good quality
