[DeTomaso] 4V cc iron heads

I have a set of recently baked and blasted 4V iron quench heads (D1AE-GA casting) with pitted seats.  I was told that they might need new seat inserts so that the valves don't sit too far into the head.  They have bronze guide inserts that hold the valves tight, and the decks appear very clean but who knows if they need resurfacing.  Spring seat areas are grooved.  They need new valves, springs, retainers, etc. but are machined for screw-in studs.  

Should I keep them?  I have a Parker Funnel Web intake and intake port stuffers to go with.  I was considering two alternates:  

1.  Ditch both and buy a set of Trick Flow cleveland aluminum 2V heads & matching EFI lower intake.  I have always planned to run EFI and DIS.

2.  Keep the Parker and get a set of AFD 4V 220 cc aluminum heads from Mikes Speed Parts.  The Parker intake has injector bosses cast into it.

Thoughts?
