Default What brand of gaskets to use?

Howdy all,

I am getting ready to do a headgasket on my 01 24valve and would like some feedback on which gasket set to use.

I have seen kits from:

Fel-Pro
Victor Reinz

What are my other choices and what are the benefits & or drawbacks?

i just did my head gasket 2 months ago i went with all oem gaskets i think i paid about 285 so all gaskets i used a .010 head gasket since i shaved .08 off the head and put all new valves and springs i also put new arp head studs on it to. i reused the valve cover gasket since you can if its not in bad shape
