Instead of bolts, you may want to consider installing studs. Studs make the installation of the manifolds a but easier, plus they are a bit stronger as well.
For anti seize, I would suggest that you use the copper based one if you can find it. The copper base anti seize holds up better on high temp applications such as exhaust.
