They perform the same task but studs tend to seal better at much performance levels. Likewise can be said between an OEM head gasket and a metal head gasket (in some cases). I'd look at reviews on head gaskets.
As for staying below $300 altogether? Ehhhh...lol??? I just pulled up a receipt from JNZ Tuning for some misc parts.

BTW, that manifold stay isn't REALLY needed....and is a pain to install/remove. Unless you can get a lot of this used...you'll be breaking that amount easily.
I has a Wii....I was just playing Rockband 2 actually...LOL
