Sounds like you have a good handle on it Jeff.
Regarding the roller tip rockers: Almost all the wear and heat with a stamped rocker is generated at the ball/socket, very little at the valve tip. I've even read that the roller tip does just as much sliding across the valve tip as it does actually rolling. Regardless, if you're doing a roller cam might as well get the full benefit of going with full roller rockers too. I like steel body , not aluminum, rockers (have seen lots of pictures of failed aluminum but never steel) for the street. Those e-bay rockers? I dunno if I'd take that risk.
I've never been a fan of how an HEI looks - especially since I was shooting for a stock-ish look. I installed a Pertronix Ignitor III system with their matching bazillion volt coil. So far, so good, and it has a built in rev limiter. Which DOES work. Lots of simple but effective ignition options though.
Ditto what John said above about taking the sharp edges off.

If I recall correctly my memory is excellent. My ability to access it is not.
