The best header bolts are the Breslin's or the Stage 8's. I have the stage 8's and I think the Breslin design is much better. As for gaskets you have your choice. Any quality aftermarket gasket should work fine. I have run the Percy's dead soft units for years with great luck. All of these things come with a cost though. You can drop $100 with ease on good header gaskets and locking bolts.

I bought stainless steel allen head bolts for my heddman's and its great. Easier to get in there and get it nice and tight. Looks better and feels much heftier as well.
