There's nothing wrong with reusing the fibre gear provided it is within specs, just use caution removing it. The K cam is much kinder to the valvetrain because the D was actually Volvo's 1st attempt at a race cam for the B18B. Make sure you install the K cam 4-5° advanced too.

How much oil does it use? When you pull the head, you can get a good look at the top rings, see what size the bore is and how much lip it has.

Dual or beehive springs depend on how much and how good the porting is on your head. Dual springs extend the life of the seats and once the intake seats are worn, there is no way back and you have to spent all that time/money/effort on another. On my best head, I have used 3 new sets of springs over time and avoided loosing the head via seat wear. How much money do you want to spend?
