Just ask Dwayne which gasket he would suggest, I would
just use a Felpro... they have always worked well for me
but 90% of my engine stuff is SB

The felpro gaskets I used with Eddy heads had the fire rings real close to the edge of the cylinders he also brought this up when I was talking to him about the using the SRs. And at the time I told him I would probably order some cometecs but I'm not sure now after reading about people having trouble with them leaking water. 
Felpro makes a couple of different bore sizes, dependent
on your bore

I blew a set of the Fel pro race 1009 and a set of the stanadrd duty 8517 PT out in my 4.380 bore with SR heads twice(12.9 to 1 comp. ratio)  Get the larger bore race and marine gaskets for the 4.440 bore size  Or a set of the Edelbrock head gaskets for the 4.440 size bore

I ordered the edelbrock 8519pti gaskets 4.450 .038 compressed and they came in an edel pakage but they have mr.gasket stamped on them  . They measure 4.50 perpindicular and parallel and .047-.051 thick ootb they look goood on the block we'll see what they look like when the heads get here. I was leaning toward MLS gaskets but the machine work on the block didn't look to be smooth enough  .
