Normally Subaru's Multi Layer steel gasket is good enough for most applications.
What you need to do to ensure longevity is to be absolutely certain that the head and block surfaces are completely flat. I'd never suggest replacing a knackered head gasket without getting the heads skimmed.
WRC cars don't use gaskets they use gas rings which entails an awful lot of work that is both costly and time consuming.
Get the heads skimmed and go for some Cosworth Stopper gaskets and you'll not go far wrong.

Yea £300 is well overpriced, the Uk retail for a pair of Subaru Gaskets from a dealer is £117.24 inc vat... Are you sure they weren't quoting you for a kit including all the nessesary other gaskets and bits n bobs you need?
