there are only 2 choices really, Isy Redzones or Crower Hi-Po, both have direct oiling to the needle bearings on the roller axle. The biggest problem we always had was trying to get the roller bearings to live as the old lifters without direct oiling relied on splash and there isnt much splash going on at idle in traffic and so forth. Be prepared they will cost you 600-700 last time I bought some.

If the car is going to see the track, i would go solid roller. Dont forget valve springs that go with a solid roller camshaft if you go that route.
