What's are good, cheap, replacement bolts that I could add to my replacement parts stockpile?

I know there is a lot of back and forth on this on the various forums: reuse versus replace, TTY versus standard bolts, etc. guys do use regular M10 bolts of various strength, and I’m sure they work just fine.
I will say that I had some work done years ago at a local Porsche specialist and they neglected to torque down two of the bolts. The car made a racket that took some investigation to figure out. Serious and scary knocking under braking especially.
