You really want the latest / greatest head gasket Mercedes has to offer. It is the one made by Elring. I believe it is available for sale here on the Forum under The Buy Parts tab. It has metal tabs to hold it into the block to prevent it from moving and allowing oil leaks.

The original head gaskets were notorious for oil leaks.
