I would recommend:

1. Turbo oil line gaskets (4)
2. Copper crush washer for the coolant hard lines (8)
3. Inconel stock nuts (5 of the larger size, 1 of the small size)

I would include some penetrating oil, a stud remover and a couple extra studs...Those things are sometimes very stubborn. Don't froget those expensive *** metal gaskets

I heard is that it is better to replace them Because when you break them loose the tend to get weak. Something about how they have little hollow holes and the bolt itself will twist under alot of stress.

2 that go to the oil line on top of the turbos. C-26 in the fsm will help out too.

It's not the banjo bolts that are the problem, its the crush washers around them. They are a one time use so once you break them free, they need to be replaced or they can leak.
