Solid cames will usually have a bigger lift are are more for race engines or street strip cars. there is a lot more maintenance with a solid cam because you should set the lash every time you change your oil. And you'll need two people to do it right.
A hydraulic cam you set the lash and forget it but there not good for high revvingand can collapse and fail. I had one come apart and the retainer clip got into the oil pump and snap the oil pump shaft.
