Go with the MLS head gasket. I would pass on this deal or order a seprate metal gasket.

Definitely change the head bolts, unless you are using ARP studs.

They are probably offering a composite material that incorporates graphite. It is a low cost material and works fine for most engines. The OEM gasket for the earlier 2GNTs was a composite material similar to that (although I don't know if it actually contained any graphite). Chrysler chose to switch to a multi-layer steel gasket after a couple years. They likely did that to combat warranty claims related to poor sealing. They would have to have a very good reason to use a more expensive MLS gasket and revise their installation procedures. If you care about your engine, you will assemble it to OEM standards or better.
