The rollers on a solid roller setup take a beating, I believe, so my preference is for a solid flat tappet. That said, it won't be a high mileage engine, so I suppose I'm open to 'conversion' to solid roller.
I had a thread last year asking questions about solid/hydraulic/roller lifters, and I think some thought I was a little stubborn for not caving in to the hydraulic majority. Ijust love the revability and the noise, and I'm willing to conpromise on other things to get what I want.
Cheers,
