I use the brian tooley slr lifters. I used the ls7 ones in the past without issue as well. I think a lot of guys dont have their pushrod length set correctly, or are using inadequate springs so the lifter takes a beating and fails prematurely even thought the issue is somewhere else.

yeah i wanted to get the tooley lifters but when i was on the phone ordering my cam threw them they said they no longer sell their lifters. i dont want to use the ls7 lifters heard they aren't great for big power. i was looking at the morel link lifters but dang there are so many different lifters and the price of them are all over the board. also what oil pumps are you guys using, this will be for a 408.

I had one or two LS7 lifters go bad right out of the box. My cam, springs, and pushrods were packaged by Jarrett for my use so I know that was all good. But who knows if the shady f*cks that installed the stuff did it right.

LS7 lifters have done me well in all my set ups. I use the pushrod length checker tool so I'm sure that is helping. I'd call Tooley again because I heard a rumor that they weren't selling them a while back but last time I checked, he was still sending them out. I'd go with those over the LS7s

I am also using the BTR SLR lifters with a .052 preload. I am surprised they didn't offer you the JohnsonSLR lifters when you asked for the BTR. It is supposedly a good lifter at a reasonable price with better tolerances than the LS7. I had LS7 lifters in my previous setup with no issues but the cam and springs were not all that aggressive either.
