Rebuild 350 or LS swap

So after several years of hard running my tbi 350 has finally died on me. Now I have a decision on my hands. Rebuild the 350 or swap out for an LS series. Been surfing the forum to see how difficult the swap is and it dosnt seem that bad. Any helpful thoughts for which LS to drop in? Kinda leaning towards the ls3.
