if you're planning on doing some high RPM work or running a cam with big lift, roller rockers can help with reliability.
Basically, the difference is that standard rockers pivot on the same spot and basically "Slide" back and forth on the same spot, so you get a bit of drag. Roller rockers have a large roller at the pivot point, less drag and more reliable as less wear. Roller rockers also have little rollers at the end of the rocker arms where they touch the valve springs, again less drag and better reliability.
some roller rockers even have adjustabilility in them to better set up the clearances.
