Spool Valve Type

Looking to replace an unsuitable spool valve on an excavator.
6-bank required, with ability to control multiple banks simultaneously.
Can anyone confirm which type I should be looking for? Something with a parallel circuit configuration? Or is there more to consider?
My guess is that without certain check valves built in, I may suffer weird interactions between actuators, such as speed changes when actuators reach their stops etc.
Would I be best adding over centre valves to each actuator also?

Hopefully someone may be able to help.

Thanks in advance.
