5/16" hardened should be just fine, some people like to run 3/8" with more aggressive SR setups.
Length depends on the rest of your combination (deck height, head milling, gaskets, rockers, valvestems, etc ...)
Measure twice .. order once. http://www.compcams.com/Technical/FA...inGeometry.asp

I like Comp's Magnum series.

To get the correct length you are going to have to measure. I use the Comp Cams 7702-1 tool and its very easy to use. I have always had great luck with and recommend Trick Flow Pushrods. They are hardened chromemoly and are cheaper than the Comp's and I know a ton of people running them successfully.
