If you are dead set on going aftermarket I'd go with non-adjustable Yella Terra Ultralites 1.7

Stockers are better in most apps with OEM style heads. They are are lighter and with the HS upgrade rarely if ever fail. Having said that if I were running an aftermarket bronze guide head I would stongly consider a YT UL rocker.

I didn't vote. The two missing from your list are the stocker and the YT UL, which as stated above, would be the first ones I would consider.

Stock with Harland bearings.
That's how I roll.
I used to run Com Pro magnum 1.75's...I had no problems until I went with the bigger cam.
The bigger cam didn't like the bigger (1.75 vs 1.70 stock) ratio.
But the guy I sold them to has really good luck with them when run with an XE lobe.

YT ultra lights here. HS does have some issues with failures. Don't know how common it is but I've heard of them, recently.

That is what's going in my 408 VERY SHORTLY. They look like they could take one hell of a beating with how thick they are. Everyone I talked to about getting aftermarket rockers told me to go with Yella's if I wasn't going with a shaft mounted set.
