Would these rocker arms work with my set up?

I currently have alum. procomp full roller rockers 3/8 stud (Pn# PC2301). I am a little nervous about keeping them because I read that they break a lot.

I was looking for new rockers. I am not really concerned if they are full roller or not . I just think it would be better to stay away from aluminum. My car is 100% street driven for shows and cruises. I want to stay at a 1.5 ratio

My head set up is as follows:

comp cam 224/ 230 @.50 0502/0510
valve springs comp 924's ( O.D. is 1.509")

comp guide plates
valves are 2.02 / 1.60 and +.100"

I am looking for a decent steel / Cromo rocker that is not goingto make me go broke and that will work with the lift and spring size I have.

Sorry !!! I forgot to add the parts that I was looking at ( sorry I had just gotten off work when I wrote the 1st post) :

If not can you offer suggestions? If I have to go Aluminum I will but I would like to avoid it if possible. Max I was looking at spending was about $240.
