Default plug wires/ header bolts

We are trying to wrap up on the engine install on our 89' L98 (putting it in a 87'). What is the best plug wires to use? Also with the aluminum heads what type of header bolts do you think I should use? We have a set of Melrose headers and I have used enough headers over the years that I am getting tired of checking the bolts and I don't want to screw up the heads. Thanks WRO
