Solid Lifter
Most all high-end solid lifters have enhanced oiling. In a solid lifter setup, the lifter is actually the most crucial component. I wouldn't skimp there. I'm not saying $2800 keyway Jesels are the way to go, but look for how the lifter provides oiling in your purchasing decision. There's a reason the Morel solids are cheaper than everything else right now in the LS1-specific solid roller world. It's still a fine lifter, but there are other options out there. You should look into the Crowers or Jesel's Dog Bone.
The Crowers don't cost a fortune and the HIPPO option makes them good for the street.
But, Jesel offers a "dog bone style" lifter which uses a metal lifter tray similar the LS1; it doesn't use a tie rod (for weight savings) or any of that. Jesel offers LS1-specific dog bone lifters with enhanced oiling. You'll need some machining done to the block to accommodate a .937" lifter bore (which I would recommend) with an .850" roller.

Another decent solid lifter for the street and less aggressive lobes is the Comp 888 Endure-X.

BTW, if it's strictly a drag car, then solid roller would work better -- allow for higher RPMs while freeing up horsepower.
