The bolts in the Turner link are just repackaged ARP625 as evidenced by their 201-6001 PN. So you're paying about $50 more for them because they repackaged them and make them sound like something new and unique.

Our shop also uses the 201-6001 625 bolts when the BE bolts run out. We prefer the BE bolts to keep the cost down for the customer. The 625 bolts were once rumored to cause significant bore distortion but that's not the case after testing proved them quite acceptable. ARP knows how to make hardware.

As mentioned, most important is to install properly- with calibrated torque wrench and not too much (or too little) lube.
