Thicker Head Gasket

Replacing my head gasket in a week or two. Should I order the .65 or .95mm head gaskets? I assume that difference is small enough that the CPU can adjust timing, but I have a Sprintex supercharger so I'm thinking the lower compression will only help since higher mileage. What say ye?

Really won't matter, but if you want to be extra cautious go ahead and use the thicker one, the slightly lower compression will also mean slightly less heat in the combustion chamber.
Just my opinion
