I have used both, more miles with the standard gasket, although the engine ran fine with both.
I was advised by a 'specialist' (I use the term advisedly) that I would have problems with the composite item, but I didn't, and I'm not convinced he knew/knows what he's talking about anyway....

I'm inclined to think that a comp' gasket for a used head & a multi layer for a new head, having said that who puts a head back on with out a skim & pressure test?.

It's not just the head it's the deck face. Needs rubbing back with a block and rough sand paper, if there are any low spots around the fire ring then a fibre gasket will take it up a bit, whereas a MLS wont.
