valve spring ?

can i run patriot extreme dual springs 660lift on a 580 lift cam? will they cause more wear on my valve train than a lower rated set of springs? or should i go with a 600lift beehive single spring setup?

Yes. I know someone that just completed 50k miles using those springs on a cam with similar (somewhat higher) lift in an LS6. There may be better choices, however.

Is this a situation where you already have the springs or are you thinking about buying them?
