Any time you replace the rockers arms with new ones you should also replace the push rods with new ones so they can break in together. With that said, I replaced my stock rockers with the comp cams 1.6 non self aligning rockers and did not replace my push rods. That was 60 thousand miles ago and still going strong.
One note of interest. If you have the stock cast iron cylinder heads with the push rod guide slots in them you do not need the self aligning rockers. You will also have to machine your push rod guide slots for extra crearance to run the 1.6 ratio rockers.
