I'm ordering a set of the FRPP ceramic shorties tonight, and I'm trying to decide on which ARP bolts to get.

I was thinking the hex would be easier to get torque on, but the 12 points might be easier for fitting a thin socket on there. Which should I go with? Also, should I use threadlock on them, or leave them be? I've also heard anti-sieze is a good idea when using a steel bolt into aluminum heads...should I use this instead of thread lock?

I've got a set of the Felpro 1415's ready to go...

Thanks.
