Default Head Gasket and heads bolts for 04 ls1/ls6?

I have a motor from a 2004 vette(ls6 block) with 241 heads

I need to pull the heads, what head bolts and what size head gasket do i need?

I see all kinds of info on short bolts, long bolts for a 2004, how do i know which?

the pistons are -2cc dished pistons, should I stay with a stock size HG? .050?

Thanks in Advance
