There are no guarantees in the hot rod world but for sure cutting corners will find you on the side of the road more often.
I have no issue with solid flat taper or hydraulic flat taper or even hydraulic rollers. I have a couple hydraulic roller engines that have been in service for 25+ years without a valve cover off and they get some abuse as well as 10's of thousands of street miles. One daily is a solid flat taper that has gone 60k miles so far and is perfect. Lash hasn't even changed. Nitrided that cam and installed solid lifters with a lube option on that one. Other daily is a hydraulic flat taper with Johnson lifters on a melling 068 and it's been flawless for years and 50,000 miles. Nitrided that cam as well.

Agreed, I have a set of Hylifts to go with the Lunati but may buy the Crowers instead
