Default Uprated Cylinder Head Gasket?

Evening all, just been out in the garage getting my spare engine on the go and I've noticed a snapped cylinder head bolt! Was wondering whether to fit an uprated gasket as a matter of course, I guess now I have no choice. Would anyone have any suggestions as to whats best to fit? aiming at approx 200bhp with T25.


cheers
