[Spridgets] Rockers: springs or spacers?

[bv]

I'm using a both shims and the standard rocker springs.
I pickup up some polished washer type shims to accurately locate each rocker
over the top of  each valve (you still want them a little off-center). I don't
remember where I got them (probably Mini-mania at the time), but I'm sure you
can find them elsewhere, or simply make your own.

Spridgeteers,
Continuing my long-term motor build, I am checking the fit of my hi-lift
rockers.  What is the consensus on using springs versus rigid spacers to
hold the rockers in position on the shaft?  Vizard actually reccommends
springs, but I'm wondering what the collective wisdom of the list is.
