Which gasket set for 1.9dg top end rebuild

Evening all

Is there a preferred gasket set for a top end rebuild. VW Heritage do Victor Reinz and Just Kampers do Elring, both are the same price but wondered if there is any difference in quality between the two?

I will try to add a picture of my knackered water jacket seal which needs replacing hence the question.

Thanks Andy.

You'll need the barrel seals too as they will need replacing

Thanks gents

I will definitely be buying a top end set as will need all the gaskets plus a few extras as I am running a DG with early cooling system so different thermostat housing etc.
