It's not really about what rockers you run. If you have guide plates, you need hardened push rods.
1.5:1 with 3/8" trunions.
If you have a 2001 or newer engine, it comes with roller lifters and roller rockers from the factory.

Yes.
The rocker arm ratio (whether they be stock or roller rockers) has to do with the offset of the rocker fulcrum. The stock rocker ratio on the small block Chevy is 1.5:1. This is important because it effects your valve lift. For example, a camshaft with .300 lobe lift will yield a .450 valve lift with the stock 1.5 ratio rockers. Multiply the lobe lift times the rocker ratio to get your valve lift. Now, that same camshaft will yield .480 lift with a 1.6 ratio rocker arm and .510 lift with a 1.7 ratio rocker arm. More lift is good as long as your valve springs can handle the extra lift and you don't run into valve/piston interference problems. You are more likely to run into coil bind with the valve springs than an interference problem though. When in doubt, make sure to check just to make sure there will be no problems.
The only advantage to a full race roller cam is that it gives you much higher top end. Don't bother unless you've made plans to constantly be messing with the computer and are willing to put up with reliability problems.
stock springs
no
Depends on what you mean by stock system
You have to much lift on the camshaft lobe, They make a long slot rocker arm that looks like a stock rocker arm but it will not cut into the stud. The slot is where the rocker arm fits over the stud. If you are not haveing coil bind problems with the valve springs are broken springs then you can keep the cam that's in it and just use the long slot rocker arms are roller rockers to fix you problem.
