OEM for sure!

I would also shop around for engine builders too.

Some good news! I reburped the cooling system and topped up the coolant and the coolant is no longer over flowing into the resevoir bottle. There was definitely air still in the system when I re did it the second time. She is sitting pretty still now. I dodged a nice bullet. Phew!

Thanks for your input men. Much appreciated!

If you want better than oem gaskets go with the Cosworth high performance gasket or the Tomei gaskets... but they're a bit expensive, 250 a single gasket and you need 2
