Well,,, the best lifters you can get are the Morels,, I paid right at 500 for mine, the cheapest stock replacement lifters are the LS7 lifters where a set will run you around 100-125 I believe.

I believe the original "LS7" lifter is now the official GM replacement part number for all of these engines.

I'm probably going to try the Morel "Street" link bar lifters on my turbo 370 setup.

They very well may be Morels...at least some, if not all Lunati lifters, are Morels as well...probably the best way to get a good price on the Morel 5290 I referred to above, is to buy Lunati 72332's instead.
