You are better off buying the individual gaskets you need rather than a whole engine set. I wouldn't consider using anything other than Subaru OE head gaskets.
Check the heads and block for warpage ( < .0014") and the heads for cracks. Be careful cleaning the deck surfaces - no motorized scotchbrite pads, etc. You can remove enough material to jeopardize the gasket seal if you overdo it.
