Default Rocker selection help

Hey guys. Looking for some help/input on rockers for my cam swap. I have decided to go with a cc503, and the Crane 10308 springs. I'm not sure what rockers to go with. I am on a budget, so, the more affordable the better (I was looking at the Comp 1418-16 SA, but I don't know how good of a choice it would be with SA). Also need some help choosing some pushrods (I'm assuming with the cam they will need changed). The car will be mostly a weekend driver, as I do have a DD, but will see the strip 5-10 times over the summer. The car has 114k miles on it, and if it matters I will be going with a Yank SS3600. Thanks in advance for the help.

I've had both the Comp Magnum 1.6 SA Rockers and the Proform 1.6 SA Roller Rockers. both are cheap and have done what I needed them to.

Im running NSA 1.6 Harland sharps, no issues with them yet at all, and relatively affordable for the budget minded folks.
