Dave I would just look at the OEM bolt already in the bins. I know none of the bins we moved had anything but grade 5 bolts in them. The larger bins are 3/8 but any of the bins under 24 foot are just 5/16. So you need to look at your bins and see what they have. Also the cost difference is usually the type of coating/washer on the bolt. Just the regular zinc plated bolts with two steel washers and two rubber washers and a nut will be your cheapest. The better bolts will usually have a plastic coated head to seal and prevent the bolts from rusting. 95% of the bins will have galvanized sheets but many of the bolts are not anything special and will rust over time. The last bins I put up all have plastic coated bolts so they do not rust.
I will second that in your small diameter bins that anything over grade 5 is just wasting money. The separating forces in a smaller bin are not the great. It takes height and diameter to cause a bin to burst. The bins you bought are not that tall or big in diameter.
