Looking at upgrading to roller rockers and with all the choices I just dont know which way to go. Comp Cams, Harlands, Crane ? Dont want to go over $600-$700.
The cam I installed is a Comp XE284H.

Keep in mind I intend on installing a set of Eddy RPM heads later on.

Only $600 or less, That leave Harlan Sharpe's & Jessel's out... T&D, Indy, Crane, Hughes, Isky, Comp Cams, PRW, Proform, most of them come with shafts also.. then another $120-$150 for the proper length & style of push-rods form Smith Brothers, then your easily at or past the $600 level, then another $100+ for hold downs & spacers/shims it keeps adding up...   Try Mancini Racing

What do you have now?  If you already have adjustable ductile iron rocker arms, don't waste your $ on a roller or roller tip set.  Like already said, watch your all-in cost.  If you can find some used ductile iron rockers, you could reduce your cost and have a bullet proof set capable of handling any FT cam.

I have a barely used set of 1.6:1 Crane ductile iron adjustable rockers on some stock shafts... I switched to full roller & aluminum heads, only have maybe at the most a 100 street miles on the rockers... PM me

I have used the PRW rockers in 5-6 street stroker applications with no issues , they may not with stand high spring pressure used with high lift roller or High RPM engines but for 6000 RPM typical street use they are great
