Use the MLS headgaskets... subaru part number 11044AA770. I never use the single layer gaskets when I do NA motors. Also stick with OEM parts. Especially when doing head gaskets.
Pros: OEM quality, reliable
Part number: 11044AA770

Mine went at 180k and took the engine with it due to loss of oil pressure.
Cons: failed at 180k, engine damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 180000 km
My 2006 head gaskets were leaking prior to 130k. Ticking time bomb in my opinion.
Cons: leaking prior to 130k, ticking time bomb
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 130000 km
replace them with the head gasket from the EJ255 or 257. They’re made of MLS and most shops do that in order to make it last longer since they rarely blow.
Pros: last longer, rarely blow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mine went at 160K so it’s coming soon. The single layered graphite that is on there now will always wear out quicker with time. It’s a “design flaw” and will always go out quickly.
Cons: failed at 160k, design flaw, wears out quickly
Mileage: 160000 km
642 head gaskets from a similar year wrx. Don’t use the same 633 or you will have the same problem again.
Pros: solves recurring problem
Vehicle:
Subaru
Part number: 642
the EJ25D, famous for blowing its head gasket and mixing oil and coolant inside the motor (in-laws had that happen, twice).
Cons: prone to blowing, mixes oil/coolant
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The Tig won't need head gaskets at ~150k like every other subi does. The TSI pretty much has reliability nailed down now, IMHO. Change the oil and drive.
Pros: reliability nailed down
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 150000 km
