Valve cover – bolts are studs

Hey, I have to buy valve cover bolts - mine are to short for the M/Ts

Looking around, I read that some people are big fans of using studs instead of bolts.

So my question - what is the benefit? Can the gasket be installed before the valve cover?

I am not using mechanical lifers - so I will not be taking the covers off a lot
