Default FE rocker arm positions

Hi FE experts.
I'm nearing the end of my 445 FE build and I just got a set of Comp Cams rocker arms.
They are handed left and right 8 of each.
Is there an official position for these?
BTW I have Edelbrock heads.
I realise that I need to centralise the push rod positions in their bores.
Or do I just put them where they give the best push rod positions?
I was going to build using the standard rocker posts and springs between the arms but having read some of the other posts on here now I'm wondering about end stands and spacers etc?
Are they really necessary?
This is road car not a racer.
Also I have a new Comp Cam and hydro lifters, two of the lifters seem very hard compared to the other fourteen which are quite springy. will they sort themselves under oil pressure or is there a deeper issue?

All help and advise gratefully received.
