just empirical data...

Look into the OE gasket, just to be in safe side. You already have risks for the 3 years with overheating to deal with, don't add more variables.
Is there empirical data that it was due to the gaskets construction or was the fault on the person who did the installation?

why even put that variable into play when you can easily eliminate it?

no reason to add fuel to the fire....just go with the oem honda gasket and eliminate that variable from the equation, its well worth the extra few dollars,
