If the price scare you take a look at these prices https://www.airflowresearch.com/ here. Hyd. roller would work to around 6500 or so. But if you go solid roller you are not going much over 6500.
The AFR heads are more expencive but either the AFR or the Brodix are great heads that will make plenty of power. If you shop around you can find the Brodix heads a little cheaper.

Contact Chris Straub or this guy about the heads,

Mike Lewis can order them with whatever spring you need for whatever cam your going to run. I would stick with a hydraulic roller. Go for low-mid range torque to get the heavy truck moving so I wouldnt think you would see 6500rpms much.
