I have a good driver but it has piston slap. Belt apparently broke. Do I bother putting rebuilt heads on it since it has slap? 

Piston slap can be fixed with the heads off with new pistons or if you have a shop that will knurl the pistons for you.  With heads off, unscrew the piston pin access hole, pop the pins out and the pistons come up through the bore where the heads were.

What larry said.  I wouldn't worry about normal piston slap. And I'd wonder if it was reasonably maintained, and how much oil it was consuming.

I'm having no luck finding heads without getting borked. Where's a good place for valves, seats, guides? 

Ask your local Subaru service department where they get their machine shop work done. The ones I know mostly avoid machine shop work entirely but they still always have a job or 5 they need something done for by a machine shop.
