Default Copper Head Gaskets

I ordered SCE Copper Head Gaskets but I also have an Edelbrock top end kit. Which do you guys think would be a better choice for a street car? Pros and cons of the two would be appreicated.

ahh an ls,,, well im not to up on the ls. what thickness are each? u can gain some on your compression ratio using a thinner gasket. ive read u can gain up to 10 hp. the real thin ones will require using super.
