What do you think of this head gasket set?
I found this on ebay and it seemed like a kinda good deal, i thought i would get my fellow peoples advice first or if someone has gotten something like this before.

http://www.mizumoauto.com/ does, or they claim to. Chances are it's a cheap product from a sweat-shop factory in China or Taiwan, but I couldn't comment on the quality.

As finicky as the 3.0L head gaskets and valve cover gaskets are, I would recommend staying with either OEM, or going with a well known and recommended company such as ENGNBLDR.COM. Their full gasket set is $120, and their headbolts (high quality) are only $40. If you're pulling the heads, you should be replacing the bolts on the 3.0L.
At the end of the day... it's your money and your decision, but it's a pain in the butt job, and I wanted to give myself the best chance at success when I did mine, so I went with ENGNBLDR.COM. They used to also sell their stuff on ebay... not sure if they still do or not.

I also got my head gasket set from ENGNBLDR.com, and am very impressed with the quality, especially for the price! They use Rock Parts which are made in Japan. Fit and Quality is as good, if not better then OEM!

I bought a set from them to do my 1994 3.0 it currently has around 30,000 miles and alls good.
My 1989 22re has around 8,000 miles on their set also.
I am currently rebuilding a 3.0 with their full set .
I have had good luck with their stuff.
My neighbor,s 3.0 was done with toyota gaskets and blew again at 20,000 miles on them.

yeah im trying to decide which route to go. Fel-pro looks good, LCengineering has some MLS and then theres ENGNBLDR. The latter is the cheapest and i have have heard nothing bad about them Ted says they are a steel faced slipper plate hg. Im about to replace my hg, im getting the heads resurfaced but not the block so im not sure if i should use MLS cause everything needs to be perfect for those to seal properly. Everyone submit opinions please lol
