I have not personally used the single edelbrock gasket, but Best4x4 has stated it only required one and sealed just fine. The kit comes with two heavy paper gaskets that also work fine but I recommend using silicone in the instructions just be absolutely sure of no leaks. The advantage of the Edelbrock gasket is you can reuse it over and over.
RoverSE7, I can't tell which year truck you have from your sig but the most common kit used is the 180 degree kit with the port down because it fits the radiator shroud best. If you are not using an aftermarket temp gauge/sensor you don't need the port up. If your truck is pre-03 you can run a 170 degree thermostat but its not really needed.

Cool, I just ordered one. I have a slightly more complicated inline setup with a bleed T at the location of the @Extinct thermostat and the thermostat housing in my kit down by the radiator inlet hose. My temps are pretty good except for in very hot conditions going up long steep grades. I will be curious to see if this will be any different.
