What head bolts to use?

I am looking into doing a head bolt retorque, I have read many many posts on here: some change the head bolts and retorque, while others just retorque. Help! I dont know where to go from here- I have a 1999 9-3 non-HOT with just about 75K. I have been getting a little seepage on the front driver's side of the block (near bolt #10) for the past year or so and recently the seepage has increased- however, NOT to the point of an emergency. What head bolts should I use to replace the current ones (Eeuroparts vs. Genuine Saab) or should I leave the current ones? Which gasket set is recommended? (Elring vs. ScanTech vs. OEM Saab) I am also confused about this "knock out plug" that some have had leaks with.
Thank you in advance for any input.
