Header studs, which one's to buy???

Hello guys,
I am gathering all of my need parts for a head swap and I would like to go with header studs instead of bolts. I want to install high quality materials being that my heads are new AFR's. I know that ARP are probably the best, but they are darn expensive and I feel they are over priced. Can some direct me to an equal alternative and or any real life experience with another brand?? As always, any offers or insight is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks guys....

I'm happy with my ARP studs, 12pt nuts look nice in there as well. You can get some stainless studs on ebay as well if you don't want to spend the $$$ on ARP's. Dorman sells them too.

I found the stainless studs on eBay to be very good, although they were a bit long for my taste and I cut off about 1/4".
