brand of head gaskets?

Need to replace my head gasket and other misc. items.
Does anyone have any preferences or reviews on either the erling klinger brand or victor reinz head gaskets? Been hearing mixed reviews, wanted to get some opinions from some x5'ers

Valve cover gaskets or actual head gaskets? Big difference there! With the valve cover gasket it doesn't seem to make much difference as they are all similar rubber material, on head gaskets I'd go OEM.

Same thing here, OE for head gaskets. I use(d) BMW gaskets on 2 turbocharged E30s, and no problem.
