Here are some links with various nutritional values of many kinds of feeder insects and one listing various roach species.

Certain species of roaches do have a higher and harder exoskeleton than others, so not all are good for young dragons. Most are fine for adult dragons though. Hissing cockroaches I wouldn't recommend for young dragons, even their babies. The nymphs may be the size of a dime but they have a touch exoskeleton.
