the larger OEM bolt with the smaller one. so you end up with two 14mm bolts.
There should be no worries about the crash bolt being strong enough.

Whiteline and SPC claim the bottom hole is more critical for load bearing.
Sheering the top bolt should be not a major concern. As long as they are installed properly and torqued I don't see how it is much more different than the OEM bolt. I would be more worried about small allen head lock nuts on camber plates slipping over that strut bolts.
