Kev, I'm in a similar state myself. With regards to a roller cam, my builder told me that the valve spring tension needed to be more than double that of a non-roller which of course throws a far greater load on the push rods. I'm definitely going solid as opposed to my existing hydraulic set up. I agree that the increased frequency of rocker arm adjustments is a bit of an inconvenience, but you can't beat the increased performance at higher RPMs.
