Default bare oem 243s what valves?

just like the title says...

i just bought a set of oem 243's bare heads. i have a set of patriot golds(.650) to put on them and i need a set of valves.. should i go with 02 + stockers for the lighter weight? or should i go with an after market valve and have a valve job done say 3 or 5 angle?

thanks,
ryan

I would like to know people's opinion as well. I'm putting together bare 243's. I intended on taking the hardware from a new set of 241's I have, but after seeing that I replace most of it for going to dual springs, I figure I might as well spring for the new valves and keep my 241's together. I've been looking at the Manley valves, but I've heard Ferreas are nice too.

I'd go with the Patriot 2.02"/1.57" stainless steel valves with a valve job like you said.
