Get 1.6's if your doing a cam too. That would be too much lift. Piston and valve may get to know each other too well. Good luck.

The stock roller rockers are 1.6 ratio, so you don't need to change them. As far as camshafts, higher lift gives you more horsepower, but less torque, whereas camshafts with longer duration give more torque and less horsepower (or so I've been told).
I would say to keep the brands the same, as companies usually engineer their parts to work best with each other.

I've been told that the stock cam works well with 1.7s anything else is too much.

That's what I heard. Putting 1.7 rrs with the stock cam is supposed to add about 10-15 hp and 20-25 lb. ft. of torque. However, "I can neither confirm or deny that statement."
