Need more info on motor ( cam,pistons etc.) and intake and exhaust and what you want in terms of performance.
64cc head = higher compression than 72cc
thinner head gasket = higher compression
64cc head = higher compression than 72cc
thinner head gasket = higher compression

Before you shell out significant $$s, it would be wise to somehow figure out what kind of pistons you have, i.e. flat tops, dished, 2 valve relief, 4 valve relief, dome, etc. Then there is the deck height to consider. All of these factors are crucial in making a wise head choice. Don't just depend on using gasket thickness for adjustment. It is possible that you could render the heads good combustion characteristic ineffective by using too thick a gasket.
