Engine gasket kit. Preference

I have a 04 f150 5.4 3v im building up now due to some bad engineering at ford. I have a vortech on it that I plan on doing 15-18lbs and spraying a good amount of giggle juice. My question is...

Are there any gasket kit preferences? Specially head gaskets? Best source for complete engine gasket sets?

Any help, advice, recomendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

use the stock head gaskets, actually come to think of it, most of the ford gaskets are the best ones around, and many are reuseable

Thank you.

I guess to add to that question, is there a list somewhere I can look at to see what is reusable or not? Are the headgaskets the same as on a n/a f150 as lightning on the old body styles? I'm sure if thats the case, its the same for my 3v also.

Everything on the motor is re-useable (aside from physical damage) except the head gaskets. For those, use stock Ford replacements.
