Head Gaskets

Is there a post about the pros and cons of certain head gaskets?

What should I use? What are the benifits of the Metal gaskets? There is a wide varity, how do you choose. I have a 91 car with a GReddy kit on it.

Are the cometic ones good, Can they be reused? What are the negatives?

Thanks

Ashley
