Default Best header gasket for supercharged application?

I am wondering what is the best gasket to use. I have seen people run copper but, wasn't sure about the drawbacks of that. I guess I should ask more questions. Anyways, what do you guys recommend?

well, it looks like things are turning around for me. I went to the shop today to drop off some headlights I got off e-bay for the mechanic's truck and what did I see??? a used set of copper gaskets that were just taken off a mustang. They were leaking in a couple spots but, some silicone will probably do the trick. The guy had a craked header and a busted h-pipe causing the big leaks. Anyways, I did see the mechanic try to braze the h-pipe with a torch and coat hanger. That was pretty neat. Kinda weird he can do that and not weld.

thanks guys
