If you can get ARPs they will be stronger than any OE replacements. Rust usually is not as much of an issue as the studs usually end up snapping due to the expansion/contraction from hundreds of heat/cool cycles.

You can get all sorts of individual ARP studs, nuts, and bolts from Allen's Fasteners. I did a quick check and 16 studs and nuts from them was about 30% cheaper than a full pre-packaged set from Summit Racing. Verify the size you need.

I don't know. I went to Summit's website and found that kit is suppose to work with the 5.4L. Couldn't hurt to call ARP if you really want stainless.

I think the longer of these would work:
62mm = 2.44"
Overall Length = 2.793"
ARP METRIC STAINLESS 300 INDIVIDUAL STUDS
Overall Length = 2.250"
ARP METRIC STAINLESS 300 INDIVIDUAL STUDS
