Default Type of heads for SC engine??

I have a 5.3 that is getting freshened up and I am going to run a SC (Magna) on it. I have had it suggested to me that the stock heads will work fine. I'd like to know what some of you are running to compare as to what I need. Thanks for the help.

If you're in there and have the extra money you would stand to benefit from from some WCCH heads and a nice blower cam though. Anyone have any data when upgrading to an aftermarket H/C on a Radix setup?
