Valve cover bolts or hexnut bolts?

ARP sells both 12-point and standard hex head bolts. The problem with the ARP set is you now have American bolts on a Metric motor.
I have the standard hex head set on mine, and it works great. I don't think there is a need for the 12-point. And either one is better than the stupid factory Allen (hex key) bolts that strip out easily.

I bought stainless hex bolts and stainless washers from my local Fastnel store.

Am I the only one who manages to strip out at least one hex head (allen) bolt on my motor every time I touch it? The best upgrades I've done so far are swapping the dang allen bolts for regular bolts. :baby:
