replacing coil bolts 98 5.4l

Its about time to replace the plugs but from what I've read, theres a chance the coil bolts can snap off. In case they ever need to come out again while I own this truck, I was thinking about replacing them with ether Stainless,brass or grade 8 bolts. I know some dissimilar metals can create corrosion so I just wanted other peoples opinions and recommendations on this.
Thanks

Use some sort of never seize when you re-install the bolts. And remember to reduce your torque by 30-40% after using a lube on the threads. Hope this helps!
