ARP is way overkill for an external fastener. You don't need a valve cover bolt that's a 12 point 180ksi fastener. I reserve the ARP fasteners for the heavy duty stuff like mains, heads, etc. I also use their camshaft bolts and balancer bolts just because I like using new parts and those don't break the bank.
I have another source for stainless steel external fasteners that I use for every engine build. They are engine and option specific, come with a lot more, and are about $50 less.
