OEM are fine, supertech valvetrain is supposed to be good, from what I've read. Get dished valves if you can, for slightly lower compression ratio.

Just don't buy Skunk2 titanium retainers... after 20K miles, they're known to have the keepers pull through and drop valves. They're meant for race engines only.
