Default Which Complete gasket Kit is Good to assemble my motor back together?

I need some help choosing a gasket kit to start reassembling my motor back together.

Some say OEM, I already have my MHG but I need all the other gaskets to start putting her back together.

Any help, comments, and opinions is appreciated.

Thanks...

The bulk of the gaskets in the OEM kits versus those in the aftermarket kit aren't under enough stress for any minor differences to make a big deal. Just a little layer of sealant on the surface of the paper and assemble. The HG is really the only place I've seen a big difference.. that and the lower intake plenum gasket (OEM has a ring of sealant around the one coolant passage, some aftermarket do not).

Ok so I could use an aftermarket kit, as I do have a mhg already. Then just add some sealant where needed?
