You dont have to change pushrods with a cam swap........but it is highly recommended. Valve springs are a must.
There are lots of cams that will ide pretty close to stock. Contact any of our sponsors and they can set you up. LPE GT2-3 cam comes as a kit complete with all the goodies at a good price......makes decent power and idles very stock sounding.

Sounds like you want to leave your stock cam in if you wanna leave stock pushrods.

Hardened pushrods are more of a safety feature. after inesting the money in a cam the last thing I would want is a bent pushrod to cost me an engine rebuild.

I replaced my pushrods before I did the cam swap, just becouse the stock ones are so weak.
