Default Stage 8 vs. Ford Racing Locking Header Bolts

Guys, need to know why the Stage 8 measurements are:

8mm-1.25 x 25mm

and the Ford Racing are:

8mm-1.25 x 22mm

I really would don't care which ones I get I just want the ones that will fit my block. I have a 2002 4.6 GT. Thanks All

I have the Stage 8's, they work and I wouldn't use anything else.

I have never used locking header bolts and never had one loosen up on me.
