The head gasket thickness is related to piston protrusion from the block. You only need to change it if you have the block machined.

But, yes, the three-hole gasket is the thickest standard gasket available.

The 'no hole' gasket (1.6mm) is actually the thickest one now, 3 hole (1.52mm IIRC) was up until a few years back.
