Maintenance is very low with a solid flat tappet. Run the valves a couple times a year. Most people see solid cam and think that they will be in the garage every weekend....just isn't the case.
A hydraulic cam is going to have the lowest maintenance plan, followed by solid flat tappet, then solid roller.
