Upgrading lifters, is it worth it?

I am building a 408 is it worth upgrading the lifters or is it a waste of money

Also which ones should I get

There is only one hydraulic lifter for the LS1. The stock ones are made by a third party company (not GM) and all the aftermarket brands (Comp/Crane/etc) are these same lifters, just internally modified to improve oil flow. Just go with any of these, and you'll be fine.
