91,
As a general rule, I like to get the cam lobe to do all the lifting with standard ratio rockers (1.5:1), then have the option of increasing lift with higher ratios.
Make sure you know the cam specs before you order the heads, since you will want to get the correct springs for your cam the first time.
Incidentally, the LT4 "hot" cam provides rated lifts with 1.6:1 rockers, so make sure you compensate when comparing cams, since most other cams will be quoted with 1.5:1 rockers.
