Question Head gasket question

What is the best head gasket for my stock A motor and where can I purchase it ?
I apologize in advance if I missed the answer to my question during my search, but most of what I found seemed to pertain to high compression heads.

Copper gasket. Available from any Model A parts supplier (Bratton's, Mac's, Snyder's, etc). About $25.

The other thing to check with any head gasket is to make sure it doesn't overhang into the area of the valves. We are working on an article in the Model a Times where the metal gasket in all four cylinders came into contact with the exhaust valves.
