I'm in need of a full gasket set, and I would also like to replace all the bolts with the ARP ones... as they look real good 
What do you recommend?

Hmm, since I'm also a turbo Dodge guy, I'm very affraid of Fel-Pro... as they suck for Dodges!
No one has had bad experiences with them on a SBC?

I'll vouch for Fel-Pro as well. Have always has good luck with them.
As far as fasteners go, you really can't go wrong with ARP...might want to look into something like this.

Ok, that's exactly what I was looking for. Is that kit totally complete, or am I going to need other things? Looks like it's all there, but I'm no good at this sorta thing lol
Is there a similar idea for a gasket set? The whole thing at once?

Would I benefit from a more expensive brand? Trick flow makes a gasket set and costs $130! What's the difference?
BTW, not sure if I would need different gaskets/bolts due to my setup, but this is it:
1969 350
Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads
Holley Stealth Ram

I bought fel pro but in my kit they included 3 head gaskets and a egr gasket that didnt fit. I mean i though the v8 only had 2 heads.

Get the right Fel-pro kit for your application and it should have everything you need.
Actually, now that I look, you've got modifications, so it's not likely you're going to find a complete kit from any manufacturer that has exactly the right parts for your combination. You'll probably have to piece one together yourself out of individual gasket sets.
