I definitely suggest studs, so that the water pump can be removed without the engine falling out the bottom, lol. I had a lathe and bar stock, so I just made what I needed, but you should be able to get what you need from a bolt specialty shop, or somebody like McMaster Carr.
Worst case, cut threaded rod to length.

Look for a good bolt supplier, One with USA bolts. Good hardware store studs should be good for a water pump. That's not a high stress area.

on all mine the bolts for the mount plates go thru the water pump housing and water pump is easily removed without removing any mount bolts
