Default Proper pushrod length?

I was using stock pushrods with about a 6.25 in. length. I was using them with aluminum rocker arms, OEM lifters, and guideplates. Needless to say, the guideplates ate the pushrods up. I need to buy new pushrods, but the only ones I find in the stock length are non-hardened. I'm gonna buy hardened chromemoly, and I found a set for use with, basically, what I'm running, but the length was 6.375. Will those be ok?
