XFI280 cam... what valvesprings?

Hey guys! Runnin a 355 with said cam, brodix ik200 heads with a SR. I need sound advice on a worthy valvespring to run. I have nosed around a few other threads from others who run this cam and see that most run the beehives. I've also seen that beehives break. In another thread, the 914-16s from Comp were recommended. I want to verify that this is a good, reliable spring to use. Also, is there maybe a lightweight LS spring that would handle the task? Will the seats need to be cut down or will these just be a straight swap? Thanks in advance for your input.

I'm running the PAC1219x springs and hardware with that cam. from all the research I've done they are some of the best around.
