It's not the lifter so much as it's the spring you're using. Stock lifters don't like too much lift under a heavy rate spring over a long period of time. (400+ lbs open)

Brian Tooley SLR lifters and .660 platinum dual springs look to be the choice for street car longevity. Good lift numbers and are the lightest rate dual spring @ .650....so won't kill stock lifters if you put them back in, but have enough force to keep the valves closed under average boost.
I run YT shaft mount rockers, so had to keep max spring rate at/under 400 lbs @ .650 (Recommended by YT on revision 1 & 2 rockers. The newer revision 3 design is good for 450lbs)

I have a set of stock lifters on the shelf if you want them. Otherwise, I'd opt for the BTR's.
