head gasket reccomendation

Okay so I have my head gasket out, found the leaks and everything woot woot.

i was in class talking to my teacher who doenst reccomend a metal head gasket, but says buy the best head gasket you can buy and leave it at that
he says it should be 2 different mating surfaces since it is an iron block and an aluminum head

.8 compression or whatever that thin gasket is is like 1.3 hp so i dont care about that, but i'm not exactly sure which head gasket to go with I want one with more longevity because its not real fun pulling this head

the only choices I see right now is the 100 dollar one on passracing.com and its TRD metal one
a couple overpriced ones on tweakit
and the oem one from aaron

also as for head bolts...aaron said theres some cross referencing bolts that people use, does anyone know where to get bolts or what bolts will fit the engine?
