With a new/reground cam', you should be using new followers - or at least properly refaced - as the old ones will be slightly worn in a different way to the new cam', this means there's a good chance it'll damage the cam lobes.
I'd probably go for the alloy rockers with a good dollop of anti-scuff paste to help the bedding in without excess wear.
