Id go bronze valve guide instead of standard ones, i know that its dearer but you want a good job right.
Any head service center should put you onto the right track, if you dont seem confident with the bloke behind the counter just go elsewhere.

Just a suggestion.
No matter which head gasket you choose, make sure that you use Hylomar on the gasket. The spray-on is easier to use. It is about $14 a can, but is worth every cent of that.

As philmelvin said, Hylomar is the brand name of the head gasket sealant. Hylomar was first developed by Rolls Royce for use on their jet engines.
http://www.valco-cp.com/Hylomar.htm
ACL recommends the use of Hylomar on their head gaskets. It can also be used on other gaskets, and is not limited to metal type gaskets.
After cooking my 18RG on the freeway (blew a heater hose during peak hour), I figured at bear minimum I would have done the head gasket. 6 months later (after fixing the hose) and all cylinders still have near equal compression. Personally I swear by the stuff, but everyone is obviously free to draw their own opinion of it
