They will all do the job and allow the engine to start but the headgasket will blow eventually. I would suggest piecing together a rebuild kit together from various sources:

Head Gasket
BECK ARNLEY 037-4770 Exhaust Manifold Gasket
Felpro Intake Manifold Gasket 10797391

Those are three really good gaskets. eBay doesn't have the best prices for some of them but they have parts numbers so you can research and get them cheaper. They "no blow" gasket is only available from eBay.

Geo Glenn's seal recommendation, the crank/cam seal that comes in the eBay kit is actually okay.
P/N 26749 - Rear Crankshaft Seal
P/N 12595 - Camshaft Seal (8mm wide seal)
P/N 12724 - Front Crankshaft Seal (6mm wide seal)

You'll also want to reuse the OEM valve cover gasket and spray it with silicone or something, the ones that come with the kit are guaranteed to spring a leak.
