Default Suggestions on Head gasket and bolts ?

Long story short my passanger head is seeping a bit on the back. I am going to pull them this next weekend and replace. Heads have only been on since Xmas last year. I want a solid head gasket that I won't have future problems with. Kinda undecided on GM replacment bolts or ARP Head studs. Any input appreciated.

1. Which Head Gaskets to go with ?
2. ARP Head Bolts or GM Replacment ?

definitely go with the ARP studs - at least ARP bolts. too many people, including myself have snapped off GM head bolts

GM gaskets - ARP head Studs.

I had originally bought the ARP Bolts, but when my car was in for the H/C install, he stated that there are problems with the ARP Bolts being too long and causing problems - so I got a set of studs and sent them over to him.

Thinking back, I should have just got the studs from the first

studs = much better than bolts
