Default Pushrods?

What kind of pushrods do you guys recomend i put in my car when i change my cam out. I am on a budget but i dont want to sacrifice durability. I know i need hardened pushrods but does it matter what kind i get.

I'm using the TR pushrods and they are still fine after I ran my engine with a ton of piston to valve contact (enough to break a valve off in the top of one of my pistons). I'd say they are pretty tough.

How many companies actually make pushrods? I beleive Manley will put anyname you want on them if you buy over 100 and pay a small setup fee.

Point is, any good name should do you fine, I wouldn't be browsing JC Whitney though.
