Best Years for the 318 LA?

So basically your thought is roller years are good. Especially for fuel. Even if the heads generally suck and I go with a different set?
If you want a roller cam, it's the cheapest way to go. They will have the forever controversy 302 heads on them. When it comes to heads and comparing the small valve LA 1.78/1.50, I do not see a big advantage. Closed chamber heads bump the compression but I don't see a flow enhancement on the ports. Really, splitting hairs in my opinion.
