Single or split shot injectors?

So I have a free spare set of 7 AD injectors and one AE. I was looking for an opinion on what to do with them. I am not sure if it would be better to rebuild the AD injectors and reflash my chip, or put the AD injectors in and send my stock injectors (128,000 miles) to be upgraded to hybrid or stage 1 injectors. I dont want to do much because of fuel mileage concerns and damage to the transmission. Any opinions on what to do with the extras?

I think you can have those rebuilt to stage ones single shots but I'd get ahold of Jim but I'd say stage ones for shure and just mild tune if your worried about tranny

well it depends on your future plans and your power goals and money and what you want for my current motor im planning on putting 180cc with 100% over nozzles in mine soon as money alows with a t500 and wicked wheel two 1.00 exhaust housing and intercooler and mild tunes witch mine is manual now but if yours is a stock auto id suggest a bigger cooler a tourque converter and a shift kit and deep pan for shure but if your wanting a little street fun and good pulling over stock and not half to do a lot of mods id definatlley suggest stage 1s you wont regret it

As of right now, I'm trying to keep it mostly stock because it's my dd. I'll probably go with the stage ones because I don't want to damage my trans before I can spend the money for a manual swap. Will they be able to convert all the ADs and the one AE to stage one single shots easily? I'm not trying to spend a whole lot of money on them right now.

I want to ask one more question: who can I send my injectors to to be converted to stage ones? I know someone mentioned Jim but I don't know who that is. Is there any contact information I can have or a web address? thanks!
