For aluminum body rockers, Crane is the best (in my opinion).
I like the Comp Cams pro magnums though.

Make it unanimous. (plus, they will fit under stock valve covers using tall deck heads like AFR's)

I have the Comp Cams Pro Magnum Roller Rockers as well. Don't know much about the Crane's but I'm sure they are a good product also...

After seeing the Crane Gold and the ProMagnums on display at Summit Racing in Talmadge, OH I went with the 1.6:1 ProMagnums on 7/16" studs.

They look like a quality piece, have low rotating mass and are rebuildable.
