If you want to play with the tune-up, or if optimizing the power is important to you, I'd say solid lifters. If you'd rather drive it than tune on it, and aren't looking for every .010 you can get out of it, hydraulic makes sense. RPM needs also weigh into the decision.
If you're really after max power, you'd be thinking roller. My
solid lifter cars aren't really that time-consuming to maintain, but the last few motors that see street duty have all had hydraulics. On the race car though I fiddle with the lash.
