Jason, there are no right or wrong wheel studs per se, just a lot of good options...some maybe better than others. If you're just looking for an overlength stock replacement stud, then you may want to consider the Dorman 610-157. This is a 2-1/8" long 7/16-20 stud with a knurl diameter designed to be a direct replacement for the original studs, so no machining should be required.
If your goal is to go stronger, then there are numerous M12x1.5 or 1/2-20 stud options from ARP or others that would be a good choice. It's the same amount of work to install those 7/16-20 ARP studs as it is to install a larger one, but the strength improvement is huge if you step up. I'd be partial to the ARP 100-7708 M12x1.5 press-in studs that are 2.5" long and have a .508" knurl diameter, good for a .500" hole.
