Default Crane Gold 1.6 RR...which springs?

Im buying used Crane Gold 1.6 RR's from a member on here and installing them on a completely stock motor. After the holidays when money isn't such a problem, I'm planning on going with LT's and the cc503 cam or similar.

But holy crap there are so many springs to choose from.

A member on here recommended these springs:

I will buy them if they are my best bet, keeping my low budget in mind...but would it be ok to go with a cheaper set of springs?

I was looking at these:

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

and

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

or

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Linge...QQcmdZViewItem

I know the first link is dual springs...in newbie terms what does that mean/what benefit is it? I apologize for the repetiveness of this post...Im sure a lot of you have gone over the same thing time and time again. But I'm just looking for a definite answer choosing between those 4 spring sets.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you get the cc503 the first springs will do.I think those are the springs LE uses on his heads.

PAC-1518s are the ultimate beehive w/ up to .650 lift. But they are expensive.

Goin with the first ones....I hate when I try to convince myself to save money on something that I shouldn't be going cheap on (relatively speaking).

Thanks guys

Edit: Is there any clearance issues with the valve covers going with Crane 1.6 RR's?

I've been using Comp Cams #26918 Beehive since 2005, so far so good, even on 150 shot. You can get them from Speed Inc.
