Well, how much trust do you have the head right now? How many miles? (that alone could determine the rebuild. If you have over 150k on the head, then, IMO, you really would want to rebuild it regardless).
As for the "needs" for springs, rockers, lifters, even if you rebuild you may not need these anyway. For rockers and lifters, the only reason I would replace these was if there was some shortage of oil up top or some other "trauma". Or you may choose to use the 2.4 valve train set-up because it is quieter and oils a little better than our stock set-up.
As for springs, IMO you don't need them unless you have a big bump stick or plans on running high rpms (or head oiling problems/tauma). I wouldn't consider the Crower turbo grind to be a radical cam (although I would recommend the Crower 2 NA in this case. I think it matches up better. Unless you are thinking small turbo, lower power). But the Crower springs are certainly good for piece of mind (also good for upgrades in case you "mod up").
