Default Lifter Options Wanted

Well after getting my float issue figured out i think it did some damage to my used LS7 lifters i had in there. The lifter is taking awhile to bleed back up but once warm or driving the noise goes away. My question is should i replace them with a new set of LS7s or should i look into something more heavy duty? Im running LEs 223/230 .565 112lsa with a set of Crane double springs setup to run 155lb seat pressure.

I'd run the LS7s, no need for anything fancy here.

I'm trying out the CC short travel with the latest build and so far so good. I only have about 300 miles on them with no track time yet. They are quieter than the LS7's I used before, not sure why that would make a difference though.
