ARP is hardened Stainless steel. Stronger and more heat, corrosion resistant.
Honestly it is all up to you. Stock bolts work just fine and you could re use yours. Or you can buy the locking type that can be a bit of a hassle but do work. Or go with the ARP . All depends on what you want and what you want to pay.
Use OEM gaskets and torque bolts down properly from the inside out and you will be fine. Simply check them again after a bit of driving to ensure they are set proper. This SHOULD be done on ANY new bolt down of parts.
