No, no, no, no, you misunderstand me:
What I was trying (and failing) to say here was that there are three methods which are the most frequently used for speedsolving and that Petrus was the third I was discussing, in no particular order. It can be so hard to express your meaning on the internet some times!
I'm not a Roux user so I can't really say, but the reason I said 24 was because that's what it says on the Roux website:
"No need to learn 6x8=48 cases. For many of them, it's only a matter of symmetry, or applying a reverse sequence. You have to remember "only" 24 unique sequences if you want to master this step."
But, like I said, I don't speedsolve with Roux!
Also, this bit made me happy!

EDIT:
Jukuren, I'm going to tell you what I've been telling a lot of beginners recently: Contrary to what most speedcubers will tell you, in my opinion it is much better to learn full OLL as soon as you've finished learning full PLL.
This may seem like a daunting task with the large number of algs to learn, however, you'll soon find (I hope) yourself making good progress through them!
The reason most people will tell you to save full OLL until later in your speedsolving life is because the improvement in your time will only be of the order of a few seconds. However, if you're going to learn them later anyway, why not get them out of the way early on? It's far easier to keep going and learn full OLL while you're still in "algorithm learning mode" than it is to stop and force yourself to pick it up again at a later date. Also, by learning them early on, you have your entire speedsolving carrier to become familiar with these algs, as opposed to slowing yourself down by forcing yourself to remember one of 47 (57 OLLs - the 10 2Look algs) completely new algs.
Literally the only reason I can think of for a Fridrich user not to learn full OLL after they've learnt full PLL is because they can't be bothered with the large number, but please, please, don't be lazy!
Stick with it and you'll be done before you know it, and (IMO) a better cuber for it!
