I agree, OEM will work just fine. I would have gone OEM, but there wasn't a B20Z head gasket available at the dealership when I needed it. Went with Cometic and am very happy.

What's different with the Z gasket? Where you going to drill a hole in it for your oil feed passage?

Whoa, don't think I'm a dumbass here. Remember, the VTEC heads (PR3, P72 castings) have a VTEC oil supply passage that the B18A/B B20B/Z non-VTEC heads (PR4) don't have... meaning his P72 head won't get proper VTEC oil pressure using a B20Z (PR4 head) gasket which doesn't have the VTEC oil supply passage, as per my understanding.

Golden Eagle sells reworked OEM gaskets for LSVTEC conversions or overbore VTEC applications.
