My (dirty old) falcon (1996 EFII for those who care) - workhorse for many, many car related missions (rescuing T.S. members, moving "project cars", towing my racecar, etc.)
It's leaking coolant from the rear of the engine between head and block - it's likely to be a corroded head (bugger)
But
If I find it's just the headgasket is any brand better than another?

Headgasket for my falcon - what brand

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Pretty sure it didn't get hot
Keen on keeping it - might do head bolts anyway...
Will try to convince ford to do a trade price for me.
Also prob need cam cover gasket - who's best for this?

i dunno if the trade discount at ford is that great anyway.
but the price of genuine parts may surprise you - worth a call at least.
