I believe the rule of thumb is; cast cam - steel dist gear OR steel cam - cast dist gear. Another option is to use a bronze gear on the dist with either cam type. Typicaly a flat tappet cam will be cast and the rollers will be steel. Avoid using high volume/pressure oil pumps with bronze gears as they put more load on the gear and cause faster ware.
