Don't hold me to this but i think i read some where that they are making a non noisy system now. The benefit is you will never get slack. That being said i use a cloyes true roller that i got from jegs.

Rollmaster makes a nice double roller with a torrington bearing that has 9 keyways in the crank gear. It allows you to easily install the cam wherever you want. It has both a billet crank and cam gear. It runs about 100 bucks.
