Re: heads
Lots and lots of options out there. Honestly, there are two heads I would use. For a non all out motor, use the factory Vortec heads. I'd think you could find a clean set for pretty cheap. If you're doing a serious buildup, no reason not to use AFR.

vortecs flow better than E-streets or Performers, unless your building something for 5500+rpm use, the vortecs are bout the best. (buy them from Jegs, Summit, or SDPC--don't buy them from a wrecking yard and have them redone, it will cost you more) Other than Vortecs, use Performer RPM, Trick Flow or AFR.

Re: heads
I used the edelbrock performer rpm heads for 3 years now and no problems.

Re: heads
I like their heads. make sure you get their recommended head gaskets because of the difference of expansion and contraction between the iron block and aluminum heads
