Yeah, that's the deal with cam threads. Everybody has a different opinion.
I love Rhoads lifters. The ticking does not bother me at all. Besides reducing lift & duration at lower rpm, they have a real snap ring retainer, and are said to use Hylift Johnson cores. They are also available with the Super Lube option.
Nobody is forced to run 'em. But, they are just one option, among many.
