Head planed 0.015 - thicker headgasket?

I just had the head planed .015 due to warpage. The shop that did the work recommends an over-thickness headgasket (0.010 or 0.020). Any BTDT w/ or w/o the over-thickness headgasket?

Does anyone have a source for a compression lowering head gasket?

Not available and not necessary. There is a spec. for minimum thickness of the head and you're not there yet.
