the ebay link does not have the info about what size rocker studs are included with the heads.....the pic also has none installed on them. most likely you will have to buy your own.
once you find what size stud you plan on going with.....
as for what rocker ratio, that depends on what your trying to do, like cam choice, degreeing it and what ratio will clear your pistons with everything installed/setup....also can those valve springs handle the extra lift from different ratio rockers

Its a stock cam on it I'm just throwing the heads on. It doesn't include the studs or anything...that is my question how would I figure out what kind of studs & rockers to but for those particular heads?

Hard to tell from the pics, but they look like they take a pedestal rocker.
Whether you go with 1.6 or 1.7 rockers will depend on the cam you use. The ad says the springs are only good for a .530" max lift. Most cams list the lift based on a 1.6 rocker. If you want to know what the lift will be with a 1.7, you divide the lift number by 1.6 then multiply that by 1.7. Here's an example.
The Ford E cam is listed as .498". .498/1.6=.311 (lift at the lobe)
With 1.7s it would be .311x1.7=.529"

Stock HO cam is .444" I believe. With 1.7's, you'd be at .471". So you'd be okay running 1.7's with those springs.
What you really need to find out is if those heads are stud or pedestal mounts. If they're stud mounts, what size, 3/8 or 7/16.
