If they seal better and provide a better quench area it's worth the money.......

FelPro PermaTorque® Gaskets have always been known to seal VERY well.....these are from that line and by all descriptions appear to be great gaskets

Not a bad idea

And to answer your question.....with the stainless/copper sealing rings, teflon coating and solid-steel core it SEEMS that they WOULD seal better, as to whether they DO seal better......you're gonna have to ask someone that has used them on an LS1. I used them long ago on a 400cid Chevy small-block that was making ~500hp and they worked just fine in that application
