What are the best Cylinder Head Studs to use

For engines approaching 70lbs of boost.I have noticed that the ARP studs have a narrower shank than some others that I have seen.Do you have to match the studs to the type of gasket.e.g.a heavier stud for copper or a stud that streches more for the stock head gasket.One last question I have is do you torque a heavier head stud more or the same as you would torque a lighter stud.I would appreciate any input on all the different cylinder head studs available for the Cummings engine.Merv
