I've got PRC 2.5 5.3 heads and they seem to do pretty well. Car ran 11.01@123 last week with a small 3600 stall and that was at 3300 pounds. The car made 429 with the converter unlocked through a 12 Bolt with 4.10's. I could have spent more and went with a better head but I like them because they were cheap and effective.
I think it depends a lot on your budget. The best set of heads we can offer for that cam would be our 215/227 aftermarket casting. Aftermarket casting heads offer a thicker deck so you have more clearance to work with as far as valve size and combustion chamber size.
I ran our stg 2.5 MS3 heads with the MS3 and I thought it worked out great. I had great driveability and gobs of power when I needed it. Our stg 1 LS6 heads will also work but I prefer to see people run the 5.3l heads. The smaller runner and combustion chamber really stretch out the low end power on that cam.

John, I originally was going to do an LS6 head per many peoples recommendations but when I spoke with you on the phone you pointed me to the 5.3 head. Needless to say I'm 100% satisfied with that advice and never got to thank you. My MS3/5.3 head combo works great and has tons of power on a small budget.
I would give TSP a shout and have a long talk about your choices/combo. Didn't mean to get off topic and I hope everything works out for your build.
