Yeh there are people who are for and against the MLS gaskets. On the DSM boards there were threads with people arguing about them and which is better. I heard of some guys who doubled up the composites. Did you splurge for the copper gasket spray? When I did my HG on my dsm, I used that shit on almost all my gaskets I replaced just for that little bit of extra protection and to minimize boost leak. Which reminds me, do you do leakdown tests every once in a while? Do you use colder plugs? Also did you have to install a check valve?

I did not use any copper spray at all, again I've heard many conflicting opinions on that stuff.

I've never done any leakdown tests on the motor, but I do standard compression tests once in a while to make sure everything is still consistent.

Yes I use colder NGK Iridium plugs. Stock heat range is 6 and I use 8 (2 ranges colder). Specific model is BKR8EIX.

Yes I also have a setup equivalent to a check valve for the MAP sensor.
