Rick, steel is the only choice. You probably need 1/4" longer than stock. Assuming your going with new gaskets too. Just remember, thicker gaskets may need a little more length as well.
I went to a nice set of ARP valve cover studs. Very accomodating for different heights and acts like an extra set of hands while attaching wire looms and washers/ nuts.

I know it's not stock but I went with the stud and nut route with mine it made it a whole lot easier with the thick gaskets I used and the V/C sat perfect
