I would do whatever is cheapest. I made a washer out of AL on the lathe for mine.
For studs I would use Summit:
Main:

Head:

Rods:

I only replaced the head bolts and used the $25 Fel-Pro kit. I have never heard of a main or rob bolt breaking in normal use.

Use the stock bolts for the mains they are plenty. You would need a line bore if changing to studs. You can use stock replacement bolts for the head, but I am not impressed w/ their quality. I recommend the ARP head bolts.
