Honda bearings are just as good as ACLs. They're plenty of 800whp Hondas running OEM honda bearings. I wouldn't tear down a motor just to install ACL bearings. They are actually cheaper than OEM Honda bearings. And I'd go ahead and do the ARP headstuds on the initial build. It's worth the extra $100 to do it from the start. It'll save you headgasket issues.
