Dave, I've just finished "working" on my motor and one of the jobs was to replace the head gasket. I used Cometic gaskets thanks to advice from Keith Craft. I was trying to reduce compression on a 351C from 11.5:1. Went with an .080 thick gasket from Cometic. It went together well and seems to be working great. The extra thickness seems to have reduced compression to about 10.7:1. Just finished a 500 mile run to Laughlin and back without incident. I believe that these are worth the money.
