I would plastigage the bearings before buying new ones. They may be good.
The sunken valves are NOT from weak springs - they are from valve seat recession.
You should get hard valve seats installed in those places or in all the exhaust valve seats.
You can test the springs - a good shop should have a spring tester.
But you can pretty well tell if any are collapsed-they will be shorter than the rest.
