Default head gasket recommendations

it's headgasket time. i'm lookin around for something MLS, and maybe lower my c/r a little bit cause the 10/1 cr is kinda makin me nervous. i know cometic makes good stuff and that's mainly what i've been lookin at, and there's one by hks that lowers the cr to 8/1 cr , but it's like 300 bucks. what are you guys runnin, what do you reccomend, and what should i stay away from

I am using two standard 10 dollar gaskets one on top of the other and running 10PSI. Reduced my CR and see no problem so far. I have run about 10000 miles. Even if it blows, I can replace it for a minimal cost.
