I have no experience with Skunk2 dual springs.
I want to believe their engineers will have designed them properly.
Sometimes a company that makes valve springs will make the valves as part of a package installation.
You might try asking Skunk2 if their springs will work well with OEM valves.

If a person uses OEM valves, we know for sure that OEM springs will be the right height, etc
I have had good luck with Clearwater Cylinder head putting in valves and springs for stock engines.
You might ask their advice.

You might also research for valve spring installation articles from cam manufacturers.
I read a good one sometime back from Iskendarian Cams. Talking about spring height, blueprinting
for competition and other subjects.

What are the valves going into and what are your plans for the engine?
