Warning, I'm not a mechanic.

Aren't there problems with the distributor gear as well when using roller cams? Sometimes people will use a brass distributor gear, which gets chewed up and fail, and instead should use a cast iron gear.

In my opinion, it boils down to cost. A flat tappet cam and lifters is about $200 +/- and a roller cam can run $1,000-1,500 +/-. Either way, always use quality parts.
