Head gasket thickness

Question folks. I had my head skimmed on my r52 head. Mini is supercharged.
They took off .010. Do I need to use the stock thickness head gasket or the thicker options?

Imo that small an amount is Marginal, could do either in my opinion. If you run higher boost levels (17/19) , then I would go thicker.
