What header gaskets to get?

I am tired of changing my header gaskets. Part of it is I was using the cheap paper gaskets that worked for a while but would blow out and, the other part was i never payed attention to make sure i got the correct port size. Then I tried a soft copper and it didn't seal from the beginning. Now that I did some research I see that i need to put high temp silicone on the gasket to help it seal and I need get the correct port size. So i am going to change my gaskets the right way this time. I have Pro Topline Pro Lightning 180 cylinder heads and Headmen short tube headers from summit. What size and style ports do I need and what materiel and brand do you suggest? Thanks in advance for your help.

I used Earl's Dead Soft gaskets and had no issues - they usually have several styles on the shelf at autozone.
