Big block hydraulic roller lifters, which ones or whats your opinion on Comps ?

So many things going on here....

To start, comp cams doesn't have a "so so", reputation. There are a few people who insist they cut cams using GM lobes. Insert extended eye roll.

Hughes isn't producing their own lifters. While they may stand behind "their" lifters, they don't exactly have a pristine reputation either. I'd like to know who is producing them, and whose design they are using.

I don't know if the make a hyd roller, but what was recommended to me by two prevalent engine builders and currently in my engine are Crower HIPPO roller lifters.

I find it odd that people have such a fear of roller lifter failure. There are literally dozens upon dozens of threads on this forum of flat tappet failures. I can't say i've seen any about wiping lobes with a roller lifter or roller lifter failure. What I have been told by my engine builder is that some of his older builds developed a squeaky roller lifter, which was replaced and life went on, without failure.
