What....longevity?? Don't really think anyone here actually daily drives a hybrid setup and puts a ton of miles on them. So hard to say.

You still don't get away from the freak wheel breakage problems, or the possible needle bearing failures. To top that off, you really have to keep a close eye on lash with a hybrid setup because once the lifter gets off the lash ramp area (which a hydraulic doesn't have much of at all) it really does beat up the lifters. So lash has to be kept tight at all times.

My honest opinion from my experiences, you would likely have a better chance of longevity with a hydraulic roller setup with proper lifters, or just go with a solid roller camshaft designed for the solid roller lifter if you don't want the hydraulic part of the equation. Having the proper spring setup for what ever direction you go is just as, if not more, important.
