I'd hazard to say the hydraulic rollers are more reliable than ANY flat tappet out there these days, hydraulic or solid..
Yep, my LS7 powered Z06 definitely doesn't like to rev with it's hydraulic roller  It just noses over at 7100 RPM..  Oh wait, that's the computer operated rev limiter .. not the lifters. 
FEs traditionally have very h-e-a-v-y valve trains, not real conducive to a high-winding hydraulic anything.
