I still have trouble discounting the horrors of loosing solid lifter needle bearings on the street after a couple thosand miles. However, the hybrid, tight lash setups don't seem to suffer from that problem.

I know where Warren Ksiez's old SR 455 T/A is now living. It has been running on the street since the late 90's with the same solid roller lifters, and has never lost a needle bearing.
My 7 liter SBF has been running the same EndureX roller lifters for over 5 years and many thousands of miles, no problem with those either (knock on wood!). My lash is .021/.024.
