Default Best head gasket to get?

Mine might be on its way out, not sure yet. What would be the best one to get without spending stupid money.

It runs about 30 psi with greys

YBO 611 is what i'm going for,with a wire rung and dowelled block, all in it's costing £140 and will be good for 500bhp, although i'm only gonna be at 380bhp. the block and head will be re-faced before fitting.

i'm told cometic are crap, Mountune is the best to go for, but at £350 is pricey and i believe requires both mating faces to be perfect.
