Elring is the same brand Saab sells you, so the gaskets are fine.
If you're getting a gasket in the kit, you might as well put it in...
As for head bolts, I used to re-use them on Classic 900s. But if the current bolt is different, and the the advice is to change them, I would. You DON'T want to have to do this again in a few weeks or even months.
Make sure the head is flat, and the block too.
