"596" Head Valve/Valve Spring Questions

What's a good, inexpensive (not beehive) option considering retainers and lock constraints?

In your opening post there was talk about different valves, etc.
Get all of that sorted out first, see what the available installed height is, and select a spring that fits the heads…… that’s suitable for what the cam is.
You don’t need springs until it’s time to assemble the heads.
