I was thinking of either an ARP head stud kit with Felpro Performance 1152 head gaskets, or the Ford Racing kit with the torque-to-yield head bolts and the graphite gaskets.
I'd use the ARP regular bolts. Studs can make it hard to get the heads off in the car. I am not a fan of torque to yield bolts, if I did not have to use them. No reason that plain old fashion bolts would not work on even a well modded 302. Given your choices, I go with reusable studs.

Felpro and ARP bolts or studs!! Torque to yeild will work in an engine that isnt seeing a lot of cylinder pressure and RPM changes.. and they are throw away after used once!!
