Valve job vs. buying new heads

So what should I expect from a valve job? He talked about checking the valves and replacing any bad ones, cleaning them up, probably grinding, etc., replacing the stud, but not much about the springs...

Springs aren't hard to find. Is this bent rocker on the front of the engine or back? I've seen people lift engines with a chain and bend pushrods unknowingly
If you put money in one head you may as well do the other so the engine runs even. But all the others work fine I would just fix the one valve and throw her back together or just replace it altogether from another of the same casting
