Comparing Mech To Hyd Cam Adv/.050” Durations

I'd always consider a solid. Our cars ancillary parts are already loud (headers, air cleaners, etc) so the drum of a valve train is not a bother. Also, we are somewhat maintenance savvy and have no problem with popping a valve cover every 6 months to make any adjustments or just to oggle at the adjustable rockers! Nothing else a hydro setup offers with one exception: Rhoades high bleed lifters that work so bad at low RPM that they make a long and tall cam seem like a small one which can be a good thing (?) if you have that type of driver.
