Bowtie connecting rods

I am looking into these rods:

GM Performance Connecting Rods -> Small Block GM Rods Part # Part Name Price
14011082 6.000" Bow Tie Connecting Rod $124.95 More Info Add to Order
14011090 5.700" Bowtie Connecting Rod $109.95 More Info Add to Order

Stupid question but i need the 5.700" for a 350 right? Does anyone know how these rods hold up? I am looking for 300 HP N/A RWHP.

Yes, 5.700" is the correct stock 350 rod length.

The rods that came in your motor would be perfectly fine at that low of a HP level, as long as you don't spin it past 6500 RPM or so. If you want the motor to see more than 5500 RPM, you'd want to make sure they have the best possible rod bolts, like ARP or some such; rods hardly ever fail, it's usually the hardware. Those rods you mention would work fine in such a motor, in fact they are probably overkill.
