Considering today's oil (lack of ZDDP) their not a bad idea but if the cam is mild I doubt you need them. If the cam's an aggressive grind and requires a lot of spring pressure and you need new lifters I say go for the added protection. For what little extra they cost it's cheap insurance.

I'd use the direct lube lifters on one that aggressive just to be safe. The way I see it is they are cheap insurance.
