Talking cosworth head gasket grp a or cometic?

the head gasket popped on my saff cossie yesterday now what im unsure of is wheather to refot a cometic gasket or just go for a group a one from burtons?

i dont know what the head bolts are yet but would guess they are standard not an arp stud nut kit

would this kit be ok?

or would it be worth spending the extra and going for another cometic gasket and stud/nut kit?

engine is running 303bhp at the moment and id like it to do 350 without any agro in the future
