If you are using stock casting heads, I would use oem rockers with a trunion upgrade.

I think PRCs are oem rocker friendly but if not - Yella Terras up 400 pounds of open spring pressure. With 400+ open spring pressure run Jesel Sportsman shaft rockers.

Don't base your purchase on a vendors selection, base your purchase on what is available in the vast parts selection from everywhere. If you're running 400+ lbs springs you will see bad things from comp rockers as well, but inside your engine. The only failures I've seen on yella terra's are from engines that had over 400lbs. springs.

I would stay away from them. I purchased the previous design comp pro mag rocker and had one slip on me. They had a lifetime warranty, but since comp had discountinued them for a newer design they did nothing to help.
