The zink comment above holds no water, becouse there are no 'over the counter" oils on the market (including rotella) that contain enough for non roller motors.
That is a matter of opinion. Valvoline VR1 still has zinc and is available over the counter. For an all out high performance engine more zinc may be desired but for a stock to mild street flat tappet motor it is plenty.
