Yes, torque to yield bolts should only be used ONCE, and then thrown away. Head studs are less prone to stretch and can be reused.
The real advantage comes in where you use oversize studs, but this of course requires more head work to enlarge the stud holes in the block and heads.
Head studs are similarly priced to factory head studs also, so its really a no brainer
