What am i gaining by using head studs over the head bolts? Does it really matter?

well it depends headstuds are more of self locking bolts so you dont have to keep tightening them but head bolts tend to come loose after awhile

Studs make disassembly and reassembly alot easier. Studs also have better and more equal clamping force because they are not twisted when you tighten them.
