You need a head gasket that is compatible with aluminum heads. GM Performance Parts has good ones as does Fel-Pro. I've used Fel-Pros for 20 years and never had a problem. Do not use an OEM replacement as it's for iron heads.
The fact that the heads have been surfaced makes no difference. 0.5mm = 20 thou, no biggie.
You need to carefully inspect the deck of the block. Makes sure the surface is good and the deck is not warped (lay a straight edge across it).
