I would go with the TW's just because they are a little cheaper and they have tons of room to grow.

+1 on the TFS heads. I like em better than the AFR's. And as for port size, it basically works like this - the smaller the runner the more torque it will produce. the bigger the port the more horsepower. As for which head 165cc or 185cc, its up to you really. 185's would be good if you upped the compression to about 11:1 or if you plan on running your motor to the higher RPMs (7k+), if you plan on leaving it stock then the 165's would do just fine.
-P.
PS: The twisted wedge head has a 170cc runner, and teh TFS high port head has a 192cc runner.
