If you check out the stickies on the TBI forum, you'll see that you can make the 305 run well without going to a 350. Besides, if you go with a 350, you'll have to do all those things, anyway. Save yourself the cost of a 350 engine and do the other things.

do the other things. if you have further questions, ask 5/7kid. he's probably the most knowledgeable guy i've seen when it come to tweaking that last bit of power out of an emissions-legal 305, especialy if you're going to put in a 350 some day. then, when you're ready to put a 350 in, you'll be ready, and it'll be a truly bolt-in swap.... (instead of "damn, i need one of those... and one of those.. and a bigger that... ")
