ARP Head studs in a N/A engine, necessary?

I went with OEM but then I'm running sub 12:1 static CR. But for that money I would go with both too... (I have ARP mains and rods)

PS: the oil supply to the head runs around one of the headbolts - assassin did the whole math behind it once and it basically boils down to the fact that there are other areas still smaller - but with the ARP it gets very shallow around the stud and therefor a slide build up of crud could get you in trouble. IMHO nothing to worry on a well maintained engine.
Also I assume/hope your are going to open the engine once a year for inspection - I think this is called for on a spec like yours.
