Default Opinons Required C4

I want to get my Vette ready for the summer and I can't think of a better group to ask than you guys. I have a couple of things going on that I'm not sure of, so any information that you are willing to share will be appreciated,

1990 Coupe
L98 6 Speed Man.
80,000 Kms or about 49,000 Miles for our American Friends

This car was stored for about 5 years and a lot of water accumulated in the gas tank and got up into the injectors. I've had the gas tank cleaned and a new fuel pump, sock and filter installed as well as the fuel lines all flushed. The car runs fine except for a slight miss which the mechanic figures is an injector. They have put injector cleaner in and he figures after a couple tanks it will come around so here is my question

Would you recommend installing new injectors and if so which ones.
I've seen posts here using Ford, OEM and MA sells different injectors. Money is not a concern so I would like the best and most reliable.

Now I plan to put new wires, plugs and a cap as everything on this motor is original. Is there any other ignition parts I should be concerned with.

Next is engine oil 5-30 vs 10-30 Natural or Synthetic
As this car approaches the 50,000 mile mark is there is anything to keep a close eye on.

Again thanks
Jim
