Default Which valve spings?

I'm in the process of picking out some valve springs for my build (twin turbo 402). I'm stuck trying to figure out who makes the best dual springs with good seated spring pressure. What springs are you high hp guys running? I'm currently looking into PAC duals (1521), Comp 921's, and Manley Nexteks. My heads are basically stock other than bigger valves (2.02 & 1.6). I'm not running a very aggressive cam (under a 600 lift).

I had the Platinum's before. I want to go with a longer lasting spring this time.

My last motor ran a 242/248 .621/.615 on a 111 cam and I used 921's for over two years and 15k miles with no issues.
