Big cams, or even big SPRINGS is NOT what kills lifters and other valve train parts on the street. It is ramp speed and lobe profiles............I have done cams for several "Drag Week" cars and they are routinely well over .900 on the lift and the seat pressure is usually 350+. They survive just fine.

As for lifters........can't go wrong with Morel, Isky Red Zones, Jesels or Crowers. One thing to keep in mind as well. An $800 set of lifters is WAY more than just a price jacked $300 set of lifters. As with many things.........you get what you pay for.
