Let's have a discussion about... Lifters.

One of the things I'd really like to get done this winter is the heads/cam swap on my '98.

I have a set of 243 heads all set and ready to go, along with an EPS camshaft (222/226 .597/.598 113 LS). Also have an oil pump, timing chain, cam retaining plate, etc. All I really need are gaskets, pushrods (I know I need to measure) and lifters.

Did some reading around on LS1 Tech, which may have been a mistake. I read tons of conflicting reports on what lifters were good, which ones were crap, which ones were noisy.

It's apparent that the signal to noise ratio on LS1T is badly weighted in the 'noise' direction.

So now I ask:

What lifters? I'd really like to avoid a sewing machine under my hood. I'm aware of preload having a direct effect but it seems that some lifters are more prone to noise than others.

Enlighten me.
