The 26's will wake the bike up and give you a bit up top too.
I would check out the tensioners and replace them without doing the conversion if you wanted to save some money. I would also replace cam bearing with torringrtons

I've got the Andrews TW37B ... I almost went for the 26's and sometimes think I'd have been better off ...
Agree with Bundy that if you replace the tensioner shoes you'll be good and save some $$ ... keep it in abeyance until you're ready to spring for the Big Bore kit ...
The Andrews 26 come on a little earlier than the 37 and stay around through most of the RPM range you use ... will also be good when riding 2-up ...
The use of adjustable pushrods is a toss-up ... the cost of the pushrods vice the additional labor hour of time you pay for the removal and reinstallation of the rocker boxes ... nothing wrong with reusing stock pushrods ...
... you also might consider reusing your lifters ... can't remember if you said how many miles you have on them ... but, stock ones should be good for high mileage ....
You will definitely get a kick out of the cams ... even better with big bore ... then porting the heads and upgrading valves/springs, etc ....
Good luck ... hard to go wrong ...
