Gasket Set Differences... Which is better? recommendations?

I had a quick question.. which gasket set is better (by users experience) and which would you recommend? This will be my first rotary build so i want to make sure that the gaskets i use are the right ones and sustain some abuse. Also, do you guys recommend any complete overhaul kit? I was lucky to find a TII with low compression in both rotors for $1000 (complete) but i have another $1300 or so to make this puppy run.

I have read Rotaryevolution's thread where he points out the best parts needed for a complete overhaul and also FC3S Shop thread (THANK GOD FOR THIS THREADS) but i have also read various users arguing over price and quality of various kits. **RE's thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-arch...-lists-395019/
FC3S Site: FC3S Pro v2.0:&nbsp Parts, Rebuild Tech

Which in your opinion is better and more cost effective as far as gaskets and/or which complete overhaul kit would you recommend as well. i am new to the 13B powerplant so i would appreciate all help possible.

These kits are in my top 2 right now:
#1
87-88 Turbo Rx7 Engine Gasket Kit (8DF4-10-271)
#2
Engine Gasket Sets and Rotor Kits
Cart Price Check Part:10-2710-8DF4

The mazdatrix set says: "Gasket Sets do NOT include front & rear seals, or pilot bearing and seal". Does the Atkinsrotary include these?

or should i just go for this kit that has everything: 87-88 Turbo Rx7 Overhaul Kit A (ARE36)

Thanks in advanced for the help. So far the RX7Club has been pretty dope.
