I think that you can forget about the copper head gasket if you are having this done at the dealer. They just aren't going to fool with the o-rings required for all the water and oil passages. The standard head gasket should give you another 126 K miles if it's done correctly and it is much easier to put on.
The balance sprockets are a good idea, but only if you need them. Have them replace the chain guides and chain tensioner, as that will quiet down any noise you here from the front of the engine.
