Mounting hardware and gaskets for headers......

I just got the Edelbrock TES for my GTA for Christmas and am wandering.... should I use other bolts and gaskets to avoid leaks or are the bolts and gaskets that edelbrock supplied going to be ok? I'm sure they're quality parts but I know there's higher quality stuff out there, is it worth the money to get them?

I've yet to have a gasket problem.
Since my rebuild I've ordered my gaskets thru autozone from edelbrock for $15 and they have yet to blow out like the orignals. The bolts never seemed to cause a problem either,,, for me.
