I can't provide first hand experience, as I still have a solid flat-tappet cam in my last three FEs in different cars, against my short block engine builder's 1st recommendations. However, I keep studying this topic along with all of you. If I do a future FE build with a different block, i'll be shooting for a hydraulic roller myself.
