honestly I like the ones with the 6-point small head and the insert allen large-sized wrench hole so if you can't get around them with a wrench or socket you can get on them with an allen.... but they are expensive...
just get the standard ones you get at the parts store and be sure to silicone the hell out of the threads with high-temp or you will have coolant leaks

  i love arp fastners,  my dream garage would be fully stocked with all arp fastners.    on stock iron heads i like studes becuase of the coolant,  but if the head has blind exhaust bolt holes them i like bolts.

Agreed...     iron heads I use studs...    aluminum blind heads I use 6pt ARP bolts...      12pt look nice but you cant get an open end wrench on them...
