Due to bearing damage, and the necessary teardown, I am taking the opportunity to change to a roller cam. Wouldn't that eliminate the need for special oil additives?

Still recommended for initial engine break-in. EOS type additives coat surfaces and enhance protection for the first few hundred miles. Also if you have oiling issues on initial start-up the additive will reduce the level of damage throughout the engine (assuming you catch it very quickly).
Chevy ships EOS to use with all its roller crate motors.

I use a Comp Cams additive for break in that has a pretty good reputation. It kept my flat tappet cam from going bad at least!

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
