I’m also a big fan of the clattering of a solid lifter car., I’d do anything I could to run at least a solid roller as it’s the easiest to do the initial startup but if you can find a good solid flat tappet solid lifter supplier, I’d try that route.

I spoke to one engine builder and he ONLY uses USA made Johnson Lifters for his builds…..but it looks like they only make roller lifters. So if you decide to go with a solid roller, maybe check them out.
