Default OEM Lifters for LE2 and Trickflow Heads?

A shop is putting together a 383 VRE shortblock with LE ported Trickflow heads and an LE2 cam. The question has already been posed to me by the shop owner, "what lifters will I use for this setup?" I know everyone will say go with Morel, but with that price tag, I'm looking for more reasonable alternatives. I see that people with LE3 stock ported heads are using OEM lifters. Is it safe enough for me to use the OEM lifters as well?
