Do a metal HG with ARP head bolts torqued to the ARP specs which is around 80 lb/ft if I'm not mistaken. If you do it yourself, take your time and use the big official shop manual (tsrm). You could (if you're not driving hard and it's a non-turbo) use a stock gasket but use the ARP's with the higher torque. Toyotas original torgue of about 45 lb/ft is not enough.

If you find a mechanic you trust (good luck) it may cost about $1,500.00. BE SURE TO CHANGE the EGR cooler gasket and check/machine straight. (Don't know if non-turbos have this) This gasket DOES NOT come with the gasket kit...so order it seperate...DO IT NOW AS YOU CAN'T GET TO IT WITHOUT REMOVING THE HEAD...
