Default Scorpion 1.7 Roller Rockers or Upgraded trunion stockers?

About to put 317 heads and EPP/Brutespeed cam in the car. Would you guys recommend upgrading to RRs or sticking with the upgraded stocker kit from TSP? They would be the same price FWIW. Heads will have patriot gold duals and TSP hardened pushrods. Thanks

lots of 'scrub' with a stock rocker arm on the valve. Not so much an issue with a powdered metal guide (stock head), but many aftermarket heads using bronze guides recommend a roller rocker.

Scorpions are nice rockers.

main reason I ask is wouldnt the scorpions allow me for better geometry in the future if the motor was to be built more? I know the upgraded stockers are best, but to what limit that a RR would e better? They are the same price new for me and I don't want to regret it in the future.
