I wouldn't think you need to be concerned with the OEM pieces unless you've reason to believe they could be "stretched/fatigued"! I've seen though wheel studs replaced for just "maintenance"! Good idea? Why not!
You could purchase new GM/OEM or perhaps Dorman by brand. If you need dimensions you could use those advertised by Dorman for their part # 610-254. That will give you the splined diameter, shoulder length and you could use the length as a guide. The OEM/GM would have the "dog point" some aftermarket might!
Here's a link to the Dorman product with a "generic" image:

Here's a link to some that are advertised as SAE 8740 but I believe OEM/GM are likely specified to similar properties:

I would think with the notorious breakage of rear end parts on the C4 with good traction and serious power you would see a spindle or half shaft break before studs (any C4 guys out there breaking studs?). So I'd say save your money for spindles and halfshafts as opposed to spending it on new studs.
