Dominik, interesting point about using thicker head gaskets and loosing any potential "quench". The original FE's didn't have any to speak of, nor was it a concern with high octane being readily available at that time. The piston is as much a .030 below deck on a typical FE. I had custom pistons made to specifically address this concern by raising the piston height to just under the deck. I forget the exact amount, but it was very close to the deck height.
The OP may or may not have quench to speak of anyway, in such a case, nothing lost by running thicker head gaskets. But it sure is an interesting question!
