High Tech 1600cc head question

Having bent the #1 exhaust valve on my 3000mile young engine I was wondering
what my options are regarding upgrading my head.  I've already portmatched and 
cleaned up my head as per serII special tuning guide recommendations and I just 
wanted to know what I could do to make the head better and more durable. 
ie:larger valves(titanium?), what type of grind, what type of guides to insist 
on etc.

I beleive the valve failure(It's stuck halfway down) may have been due to using 
unleaded even though the machine shop that did the head said it wasn't an issue.

As always, thanks for any and all help.
