looking for the correct gaskets for AFR heads and HSR

I put a post in the exhaust and I will post here as well, I am looking for the correct gaskets for my engine, I have a HSR, AFR 190 heads and SLP 1 3/4" headers. I am getting conflicting info from SLP, AFR and this site on which gaskets to go with. I am looking for the intake and header gaskets. Should I buy the SLP exhaust gaskets from their site for $30 or get felpro ones. Which part numbers for the felpros should go with.
Also, I would really like to get the SLP exhaust gaskets since they are only as big as the flanges on the headers. With the felpros, you wil see the gasket between the flanges. Im basically looking for pros and cons on the SLP's

what intrake manifold gaskets to go with. DoI pay more attention to the head or intake dimensions? I will modify them if I have to to maximize flow

Fel-pro 1205 intake gaskets will allow a small bit of opening for both the manifold and head intake runners for port matching. As for exhaust gaskets, I've tried several and had the best luck with copper ones. I think the ones on the engine now are SCE coppers, they don't leak, reusable (although i haven't had to take the headers off and reinstall yet to test that statement) no need to retorque the bolts and they really don't look all that bad.
