Default Headgasket Question

What headgasket options do we have other than the stock headgasket? Are there more durable headgaskets? Also, is anyone with a built motor using any other headgasket other than OEM?

After searching for a while some people use a copper spray and apparently it works, but IDK if that will help my issue!

Aftermarket headgaskets at least Cometic doesn't seem reliable, man am I confused.

I understand people like Kutsujula are making it on the OEM headgasket, but I am running less boost and my set-up is not inferior in any way. So my question was what can I do to prevent it if I go with the OEM headgasket again??

He has a much better mani than us log guys. I have pretty much made up my mind to go 3mm ILP. I need reliabity since I am not too good at turning wrenches.

what's wrong with the headgasket? if it blows, change it out.. its not that huge of an issue unless if you let it become one.
