I sure agree with you on the needles. With a stout well oiled shaft MOPAR's don't need them. My favorite types are the ductile iron, Comp Pro Magnum and RAS. All simple, stout and robust plain bearing types when applied correctly. I'm running the Comps.
When it comes to roller rockers, in my opinion go with a part with excellent reputation like Harland Sharp or don't bother. Run them on the Magnum engines for thousands of miles without fail.
T&D also has an excellent reputation.
On the GTX I went with a set of Max Wedge rockers I stumbled upon and they are still on the car to this day.
