What header bolts should I get for my Jet Hot LT's?

I'm probably going to be installing my new LT's next week. I've got my copper gaskets in and when I was lining them up with my headers to see if they fit, I noticed for the first time just how thick the flanges are on the Jet Hot's. I was just wondering which header bolts I should go with. I already have a set of ARP bolts I put on 2 summer's back when I had my Edelbrock's coated. Would these bolts work well with my LT's or should I get longer ones?

Thanks.

I used ARP 12 point 3/8 (I believe) by like maybe 1 inch long. I am not too sure what the length was, but I never had one back out on me.

The Stage8's are nice because they have allen key capability.

The 8911's are 3/4", and the 8911A's are 1". I used the 3/4", but if I had to do it again id go with the longer bolt since the flange on my FLP's is pretty thick, and Ive aready had a few bolts try to back out on me from engine vibration.
