Exhaust manifold studs or bolts

Hi, I’m doing my exhaust manifolds and was thinking about running grade 8 bolts instead of studs and nuts. Anyone running bolts or have some insite in which is better? Anyone who is running bolts have a length they found works well?

I switched mine to the stainless ones sold on Amazon or eBay, they come in a set of 10 and not only look better but are far better quality than the stock horrible ones that break 80% of the time
