Cylinder head gasket replacement questions

Well, there's water in my oil and the coolant level has dropped on my '91 9kt with 126K miles. Also, there's noise at the pulley end of the engine which is not the timing chain, serp belt or the A/C compressor, so I figure it's time to do the balance shaft sprockets and chain.
I'm going to get it done at the dealership (Zimbrick, Madison WI) because I haven't been happy with the Saab knowledge of the non-Saab Indies in town. I just don't have time to do it myself now.
Anyway, please help me with some questions:
1. What do you all think of the copper gasket from Swedish Dynamics?
2. Should I get the copper exhaust manifold gasket from SD?
3. What about the spray sealant (seems pricey) from SD? Will any decent gasket sealant work with the copper?
4. Finally, should I get the head re-done at the time? Is Swedish Dynamics overpriced on this one?
5. Do I understand correctly that Saab came out with hardened steel balance shaft sprockets, and will they retrofit to my '91?
6. Anything else I should have done at the same time?
thanks.
