Do I still need to used a spray-on gasket sealer or not. I would like to avoid the messy cleanup if the head has to come off later. Somebody told me that this type of gasket sticks to the metal and that clean-up is still a chore with or without the gasket sealer. Any thoughts?

I would strongly recommend you resurface the cylinder head as well.
If you've resurfaced the block the head is what's going to fail as the surface finish along with it being warped out of the box .
We've had to resurface every Snyder/Tod head we've installed for customers due to aforementioned issues.
