It doesn't get any much better than the stock headgasket. And I know so many people that hate headstuds it's not even funny. To add to that I have never seen or heard of anyone blowing a headgasket on a 2.0l, which I can't say for many motors.
I just don't like people saying headstuds are superior, because, well, there not.
