Do you use your regular road tires on the rollers or would el cheapo tires or perhaps those Conti Hometrainer deals work better?

Hmmm....
From what I've read, you can use your regular tires as wear really isn't a concern like it is with trainers.

Rollers definitely seem to have the advantage over trainers in terms of 'get up and go' time... with the trainer, you're switching off a tire(providing you use a training tire and not a whole separate bike... I don't have space for another bike around here), cranking it up in place and then getting started. Want to go riding the next day? Uncrank, and replace real tire. Repeat as needed. With roller, just put the bike on the rollers and get going. Granted, it's not a ton of time, but still...
