I would use an OEM gasket with copper spray and ARP studs. This is what I'm running now. As for pricing, OEM bolts can be had for like $2 a piece, or $20 a set from Majestic, and ARP studs are like $120. I think it's worth it for the added strength and peace of mind. I would also double-net the studs and pre-torque them to 10-15ft-lb to make sure they seat evenly.
