Default Roller rocker choices??

Looking at getting some roller rockers and wondering if the SE units are a good choice or if I should spend the dough on S&S rollers. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

Not trying to be a smart *ss. Just curious why you want them? A friend of mine had Redshift 575 cams installed by a very competent indy. My friend decided he wanted roller rockers and had them installed by someone else. His indy told him he wasted his money and they weren't needed until you get to very "high lift" cams.

I had the Refshift 575 cams, and had Baisley Heads and his roller rockers set up by him.
Geometry is better on the pushrods with them.

I'm going to be running a tman 662 which IIRC is a 650 lift.

I put S&S ones, I had bought for an EVO build I never got around to, in my mild 103 build for really no other reason than I had them. Only have a couple thousand miles on them, but no issues?
