Thumbs up
I'd use a non damaged gasket over a damaged one... think about it for just a second...

You'll probably get 125-175k from the standard gasket before it decides to leak again, by that time you probably won't be in the car anymore and if you are the head will be worn enough to warrant a rebuild again then.

I REALLY hope you're doing your head while this is apart, if not you're wasting time. Replace all guides, replace VALVE SPRINGS, etc.
