The stock head bolts are torque to yeild bolts meaning that they stretch when torqued. You should not reuse them as they are now weaker due to stretching.
There are 2 options go to the parts store and buy oem replacements (which can only be used once) Or go buy a set of arp bolts which can be reused should your heads have to come off soon for some reason. Sent from my Autoguide iPhone app

You might want to condiser some Cometic head gaskets while you doing it!
(I would go with studs!)

Studs have more clamping force than bolts do. Why would you feel safer with bolts as opposed to studs? Studs are stronger.
