A solid lifter allows you to run a much more harsh lobe profile as compared to a hydraulic. You also don't have any "give" in the solid lifter allowing you to use 100% of the camshaft. Only downfall to the solid is getting the lash set properly and maintaing the lash at oil change intervals. Also th ecost is a little more on the solid.
