I'd run either those PRC or Patriot Gold springs and be sure to measure for correct pushrod length. After that it is really up to you, some people use stock timing chains some don't, most people change oil pumps while they are in there and some people even change rod bolts if they plan on spinning it pretty high.

I would replace springs, value seals, push rods, at least the timing chain and maybe the pump. How many miles do you have on the engine?

The LS2 chain makes a good replacement if you are on a budget. I would replace the pump just for the peace of mind.
