Default two head gaskets?????

Hi people i'm at the final stages of my zt build i'm using a 2mm decomp plate on standard pistons on an 1.8 brand new zetec block.

the question i have is it better to run 2 head gaskets or use a none setting high temp sealant on the block to decomp plate surfaces.

i'm not aiming for any higher than 220bhp.

what are peoples opinion on this any horror/success stories???

thanks in advance for any input.

cheers,
Phil
