To add to what Jay said, consensus around here seems to be that a thicker head gasket is worst way to lower compression. Most say that you want to shoot for 0.040” piston to head clearance, for good quench/squish. Reasoning is that good quench helps stratify the air/fuel mixture for a more even burn, reducing the risk of detonation.
