Default Valve stem oil seals

I'm about to drop 2 sets of heads of at the shop. Anybody have any suggestions for a specific brand and source for valve stem oil seals?

The shop is more than familiar with disco heads, so I'm not worried about specs. I planned to have the heads cleaned, pressure tested, surface decked, valve seats re ground, and new valve stem oil seals installed.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

When I had my heads done they shimmed a couple of valve springs. I guess they checked them for tension or pressure. The sticky valve I had was on one of the cylinders that had a weak valve spring. It will run like a new truck after the head work.
