That is a completley different animal. Those black onyx gaskets had a different thickness that couldnt handle the pressures of the diesel engine. Oem will be just fine for the f150.
Edit: oem for everything besides the exhaust manifold. Black onyx are for the head gaskets.

I had a set of Dynatech LTs bought and then a set of Bassani equal lengths. Both got sold out from under me. Both for like $10 or $20 more than I had paypal'd them
