Axle/Gears: ones that turn.

Somebody will probably recommend using DR secondary rods and something like a B secondary rod hanger.
BTW, welcome to the board!

Start with the stock rods and hanger and work from there. Most of your power tuning will be on the secondary side. Try a AU rod and experiment with different hangers and air valve tension settings.
Because of your larger than stock cam ( built in EGR)
you may want to restrict the EGR flow into the intake somewhat.
