In single beehives I've used Comp 918s, Pac 1518 with no failures. The longest lasting on high lift (without significant loss in pressures after 15k) has been PSI 1511. I tend to use those nowadays if I'm able to locate them easily.
Beehives have attributes that are not available in duals, some of which:
- Better harmonic control
- Lighter effective moving mass weight.

The last set I did I didn't have to shim them. But I did check them to see what the install height was. Seems like they came in at around 1.750" and they where on a souped up .615" lift cam.

To help with price you can use the stock retainers and seats with the 1519's.
