Default best valves for turbo

I'm about to either build up a CRV or LS block for turbo, and i plan on using a 2nd gen B16a head (solely for flow characteristics). My question is on what kind of valves i should be getting. I have been told that stainless steel valves are the way to go, due to their resistance to heat. I plan on running -heavy- boost, and i want to do everything up right. Any thoughts are appreciated.

SS is good stuff. But if you burn a valve you burn a valve, no matter what its made of. I have Ferrea's , broke one at 5psi. It comes down to tuning weather they will last.
