I use the ARP stainless 12 PT bolts with drilled heads and safety wire them. It's a little extra effort but I haven't had any header gasket issues or loose bolts.
If I had the room for easy removal I too would use their Stainless studs but with a mechanical locking Jet nut in lieu of a split lock washer, I've seen the exhaust heat take the temper out of split washers and they end up flat and loose the ability to keep a nut on tight.
