Default non aligning rocker arms

I know there are several posts on this, but I am going to ask this anyway.
What brand of guide plates did you use?
With length of hardened push rod did you use?
Just trying to see what you went through, the do's and don'ts. I do know that you must properly measure your pushrod length. I just dont want to pull my hair out, oh wait a minute I'm bald.

Here you go, there's probably cheaper ones out there but even these will be cheaper than GM.

Trick flow guideplates and hardened Trick Flow pushrods. Measured pushrods to be 0.05" shorter than stock length. You have to measure your own..
