Is there such thing as a good lifter?

Observations from many lifter threads on many websites.

1) Comp Cams is involved way too often.

2) People mixing oil and additives is involved 90% of the time

Does anyone that buys the correct oils for classic car flat tapper cams have lifter failure. Brands like
Penn Grade
Joe Gibbs driven
Redline
VR-1

buy the right oil and then you don’t need any additives.
