Studs are stronger than bolts. Also fine thread is stronger than course.

In high use areas where the thread will be used over and over I like studs. If I had to take my front D60 in an out 5 times a day (
) studs would keep the holes from getting worn. I believe that a center section on a 60 is cast steel and will show wear long before the grade 8 bolt loses it's shine!
I have put studs in a front 60 but they where step/repair studs to fix the badly worn taped holes. The previous owner thought he could "pull it" into position with a impact wrench
!
Both coarse and fine bolts/studs can be had in grade 8.
