I use Brad Penn in my roller motor, I would not dismiss the need for higher ZDDP just because you have a roller valve train. It helps to have a roller valve train but there are many moving parts in the motor like the lifter in it's hole, pistons etc all metal on metal without oil so I would still be looking for an oil with correct level of ZDDP for your motor.
For a build like yours, I'd consider the same oil I'd use in a flat tappet cam engine (or something similar):
AMSOIL Z-ROD 10w30 Synthetic Motor Oil (Product Code ZRTQT)
(zinc – 1440 ppm, phosphorus 1320 ppm)
