If you are not sure of the advantages/disadvantages can I ask why you want one in the first place? Whats wrong with the OEM one? or is this boost related?

They don't last very long iirc 2 years or so.

If your looking to lower or higher the compression you can get different thickness mls gaskets

Copper is super soft.
Only advantage i can see with copper is superior electrical noise cancellation between the cylinder head and the block. Which imo is most needed. ;)
