Shy away from stainless as Alum and stainless don't like each other and will cause galvanic corrosion.

When ever I put a steel (stainless or carbon)bolt into aluminum or through aluminum I use anti seize. If a washer is used I put anti seize under the washer.
Valco co. makes some good stuff I use with rocker studs into aluminum heads.

You know, as expensive as the aluminum heads are, they should have SST inserts pre installed. Al
