header bolts???

Well I'm getting headers and an x-pipe put on my new car on the 14th and I was wondering, is it cool to reuse the stock header bolts or do I need to upgrade?? When I had headers put on my last car all those years ago, I bought Stage 8 locking header bolts and had Madman & Co. install them when they were still in Houston and he used the header bolts but he didn't install the fastener/locking parts because he said it would be a bitch to get them off if you ever needed to remove the heads. I'm not sure if I should just do that same thing again with these or reuse the stock bolts. They definitely seem puny compared to the Stage 8 bolts.

another option is ARP header studs or bolts.

All I can find are the ARP studs, not the bolts, and they are $100. I can't see them being worth it.
