Default Best aftermarket replacement for pushrods

Well, I figure I'll change the pushrods out, because I hear that familiar ticking noise. Nothing is done to the engine internally, so I'd need the stock pushrod length, but a brand stronger than GM's. What does everyone suggest?

Also, what else do I need to replace when doing pushrods??

I had rod break and found several bent on my car last year. I went with some Comp Camps hardened Chrome Molly. They have been working great. Past that, I did nothing else just took the rockers off replaced the pushrods and put it back together.

Some might recommend some new 1.8 rockers or something but nothing really needs to be changed.
