I agree with Ernie, I prefer solid lifter flat tappet, very infrequent adjustment, good sounds (like an original) and no worries of a link bar coming apart or needle bearings being indiscrimenently disperssed throughout the engine. Lower cost can be considered a side benefit, but overall maintenance is less than with solid roller and for me was the main consideration. Using the correct oil is of course paromount.
