Have you replaced the valve seals? If not, that's probably where your oil consumption is coming from. Could also be intake manifold gaskets.
If you rebuild the 305, I wouldn't recommend going beyond standard size rings & bearings. If you have to do any machine work to the block or crank, you might as well go with the 350.
