As far as I'm concerned there's only one pick whether it's a mild build or not, and that's the Hylift Johnson's with pin oiling. Yeah they are expensive, last set was $1400 for a sbc build I did just recently and I've seen the price as high as $1600, but I've never had or seen a set fail as in breakage, they run perfectly quiet, and I've had them in engines for many years without a problem. While others run cheaper brands and have issues with link bars, bleed down rates, noise, broken wheels, etc..... The problem though is price (understandable) and the fact that they are hit and miss as far as availability, they seem to go through stints where they are hard to get for months.

Probably a very close second would be the new evolutions, but even those are $700 which most here will consider too expensive as well. I'm actually going to try a set in another build I'm doing. At least if you get a noisy one you can swap out the cartridge for minimal cost. They have pin oiling and they've made the bodies thicker/stronger than previous versions from Comp. So it has potential.
