What head gaskets to use with aluminum heads? Fel-pro 1008's?

I've been running the 1008s for years without any issues
EDIT
if your running high compression then maybe the Cometics

They work fine with aluminum heads? I've them on iron heads with no problem. Compression is 10.2:1

I've ran both.. Felpro and the Cometics, both worked on my little 11:1 motor, but I needed a custom thickness this last time out, so I went with Cometics.

They're still in there and they're still holding up well..
