First, are you building a bare wheel? Or re-installing one with the rotors, bearings, etc installed?
If reinstalling parts, you could use the old bearings if necessary, but the disk bolts should be new ones. Reinstalling the old ones have been known to sheer off when re-torquing them. Then fun starts.
And—
The disk spring washers, springs and collars should be replaced also so as to ensure the disk floats properly.
Failure to do so could lead to brake binding as a member found out.
The caliper bolts are ALOC bolts. That means the bolt comes with a locking compound on it and are one-time use. OR, put your own thread locker on it and torque to spec. That is what I do based on my dealer saying they do that.
If you are installing bearing, read the instructions a bunch of times. You can’t just bang them in and be done. They have to be seated correctly and not bind the spacer tube in there. Someone else may chime in on this as I haven’t done this job yet.
