If it was me, I would not use any of the bottom end parts. There was severe damage. Even if a big IF, the crank checks out, I would still not use it. Just think of the stress that the crank saw during the explosion. Personally, I would just have the heads checked and that's all that I would use if they are good.
Even with the lifters looking good you still don't know what kind of loads they saw and or metal floating thru the oil. I'm just giving you some real life experiences, and hate to see someone make some of the same mistakes I have made over the years.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Seems odd a little PTV contact would cause the rod and pin to seize. You previously were saying Piston to head, which I assumed you meant piston to valve

Bah, I just edited my post....I mistyped what I was trying to say. How bad was the PTV contact when you pulled the heads the first time? Could you not tell by the way the car was running(assuming the valves were bent) that there was an issue?
