what disc studs to go for?

Hi all. Im to be the proud owner of a pair of DYMAG 5 SPOKE CARBON WHEELS. Ive splashed out and am going to purchase some Brembo discs. My question is, what studs do you lot reccommend I use to fit the discs to the wheels. OE ones from Ducati, Titanium albeit my mate sheared the heads off his, or something else. Thanks Ian.

The problem is the internal drive surfaces (inhex) on the Pro Bolt UK brand of titanium bolt, extend into the shank under the head, thus reducing the material section to a little over 1mm radially; this is the reason for the bolt head failure- poor design these bolts are potentially dangerous and I notice after my complaint they have brought out a alternative design which is simillar to the NCR design.

Only buy titanium disc bolts with external hex drive (like a standard bolt not like a cap screw) because disc bolts have by neccessity very short heads that dont need to be weakened by inhex drive that extends into the shank
