What type of Head Gasket should I use?3vze

Just like the title says. I have been fortunate enough to be inducted into the blown head gasket club.(3.slow 3vze). I just got the heads back from the machine shop and they said my heads where barely warped and he took off less than a 1000th. So im ready to start putting this baby back together but i dont want the same problem to come up in a few thousand miles or less. We noticed when we took off the old gasket alot of the cooling ports where blocked off or had holes in the gasket much smaller than the block. In some cases it actually blew through the gasket to get through. And of course the main culprit #6 CYL.
So my Question to you is where should i get my gaskets from. Brand type and where to get them for the best price. I can tell its been replaced before and probably got a auto zone gasket, as most of us know they can be great for somethings but i dont trust putting our main engine issue in there hands.
