Default Headgasket

I'm just in the process of rebuilding my erst and had a felpro gasket on it but wa wondering whether to just use a standard one, I'm running a stage 3 head and low comp bottom end and should hopefully push about 200bhp! I've been told that the felpro gasket was only really for the 1.9CVH! Any ideas on which gaske to use?
