get a complete head gasket kit!
it includes all you need exept:
- timingbelt-kit
- waterpump
- headbolts
- oil
- coollant
It's advisable to get the head skimmed and get new valvesterms mounted (included in the head gasket-kit)

if its still good not.. but if it brakes down with the engine running...
you dont wanna have that.. so if u dont know when it's last been replaced.. DO IT!!
maybe you'll need some new bolts / etc for the inlet/exhaust manifold if they brake while disassembling..

Water pump: £40 + an extra 15 mins fitting it.
New engine: £500-1000
Up to you really. I know what I would choose.
