Default Valve ?

Anybody ever used Summit branded valves?
If so, what is your experience, I am putting ported heads on my 93 and want to have the heads ready to go on before pulling my heads.

If it were me, I would not go "cheap" on cylinder head parts, or there might be a crate engine in your future.

I understand you want to have the heads ready, but if you're on a budget, you already own all the stock parts you need.

Have them checked, if they are old have them install new ones if they tell you they can knurl the ones you have run, its a waste of time.
A one piece stainless valve is reasonable and will be plenty strong. Most parts house brand pieces are in fact usually made my a larger mfr with their name .Ex : Summit ign systems made by Mallory. Same thing.
Id bet money their valves are Manley, SSI or something similar. Used both with no issues.
