My opinion, get the limiters. As far as brand, your choice.
I like 2 flats off the bottom (limiter)
I am running the S&S Premiums without limiters adjusted to OEM specs, not leak down at all.
S&S std lifters loaded to .140".
According to zippers , they now adjust all their push rods up 4 flats from the bottom , limiters or not .
I've ran 2 sets of s&s premiums, without limiters.. never a problem, and always quiet. Fixing to try a set of wfo Larry's premiums I bought awhile back
