Default Supertech Valves on Daily Driven Motor - Recommended or Not?

Supertech Valves are proven durable and to perform in race engines, but are they just as safe to run in a daily driven motor? Its usually safe to assume that any component strong enough to handle race type conditions should be more than enough for a motor which will not see such extremes on every start of the engine.
Does anyone have any opinions whether or not its recommended to run Supertech Valves on a DD? Is durability and longevity a factor at all in comparison to OEM Honda valves, or will they last as long, if not longer, than OEM? Are there any concerns with using Supertech on an everyday commuter?

Supertech Valves are great in race and street motors. Theyre good for long term use.

gsr block, p30 pistons (from h-motors) flat faced black nitride, type r head

Looking to run into the high 11:1 ratios goal is 12:1 but if I fall short thats fine. I am running oem HG and no resurfacing of block or head.

Most likely sell the motor after I get it running. Got the h2b bug in me.
