Default Head Gasket Opinions

I am the stage of putting the Head on my 86 NA. The gasket set that I purchased is the Reinz. I have read where some HeadGaskets are better than others. My question is that considering the car is a NA should I purchase a better HG or is the Reinz adequate? The car will not be tracked or driven extremely hard. I had a stock HG blow years ago because the car overheated, I have wondered if it had been a better HG if it would have. Thanks for opinions.

I would prefer the gasket blow that the motor overheat itself and seize, no? For a stock car there is nothing wrong with the VR set that you have.

I agree with Matt, use the gasket you have.
