Default Rocker go Adj. or non-adj.?

Im running TSP Stg 2.5 5.3 heads with the dual prc springs and Ti retainers, Torquer v2, with the GM MLS head gaskets, and using LS7 lifters, with 7.4 pushrods, stock rockers crapped the needle bearings.

My question is at what point would you switch to an adjustable setup from the factory non-adjustable. I would logically think(after my **** broke) any change from stock, but from what I've read (and done) a lot the guys here including me are/were running the stock rockers or non-adj. aftermarkerts.

Did a search, there's not much on this just whether to go aftermarket or stock, not adj or non-adj

Personally, I'd go adjustable. You also need to measure & confirm pushrod length. I also don't use any stock rockers w/ high pressure springs, have had too many needle bearing baths, as you have just experienced.
