Valve springs for 930?

I am in process of a top end refresh on my 930, reground SC cams will go back in these heads. What valve springs should I put back in? Pelican has Porsche, OEM and German springs. I don't feel like I need heavy racing springs for this. Any suggestions from the engine builders, OEM and German are about $14 each. Porsche are about $40. Some of the springs in my heads have surface rust, so I would guess the cheap solution is replace at least the rusty ones, maybe all of them.

Thanks
David

When the heads are done the springs are pressure tested to make sure they are in spec for closing pressures. OEM is sufficient.

The springs have rust, that is death to a spring, they will fail. I won't put them back in the engine. I am looking for a set of Eibach springs 20701.212 evs springs. If I can't find that I will go with next best OEM spring.
