I am very happy with the Hydraulic Rollers from Bullet Cams, so long as your head flow is strong and your port profile doesn't really require the High rate of lift cam, it's a nice low mainenance alternative to a solid roller.
The downside of a solid roller on the street is the necessary strong spring pressures can take a toll on the seats and guides in terms of longevity, and if a lifter fails it's usually messy.
My 517 Bullet has revved easily to 6800 and easily on par with a very agressive solid flat tappet and a mild endurance type solid roller, but It's running heads that flow 362 at only .600 lift so it would probably still make decent power if I shoved a broomstick in the cam tunnel.
But a HR costs about the same as an SR so (except for the spring rates and pressures) the argument can be made to go with a milder "endurance" type soild roller for the same money. Depends a lot on the application, but if you look at some of the times these LS bowtie motors are turning with juicers you can very easily see that HR's are benefitting from a lot of R&D developments over the past several years.
I run an endurance type (out of a mid-90's IROC Dodge race car). 266/269 @ .050 .585/.570 lift Cam Motion solid roller in my 414, it idles better than a Comp 305 Magnum hydraulic and has a heck of a lot more range and power. Real easy on the valvetrain too.
