You can use bulk but be aware that the two ends are different sizes 
When you remove the old hoses don't pull them, slice them with an exacto or other razor knife lengthwise then peel them off, break one of those heater core bungs and you are in for a good 8 hours of work replacing the heater core. The new factory hoses will also come with new clamps already on them, another plus.
The factory hoses FIT, they are prebent. The rad hoses come equipped with new shields and the lower hose has the spring already in it. Makes life easier.
