Need Help With Choosing the Strongest Rotating Assembly

I have basiclly narrowed it down to 2 choices. I am aiming for a 355,4 bolt, LT1 intake, AFR 190cc or 195cc. I would like your guys opinion on the strongest in your opinion??

Scoggin Dickey's blown 350 rotation assembly

Speed-O-Motive's Blown 350

Also who is more reputable?? If that matters at all

I've heard Speed-O-Motive sells crap, so I'd go with SDPC. Besides, Callies makes some of the best cranks in the world...are you going to actually use a blower? Because otherwise, 8.5:1 is a little low...

Yes I would like to get a ATI D-1 procharger in the future.

if you're wanting the strongest i'd look at lunati, sonny's and callies for cranks, manley for rods and ross for pistons. most people that say they "want the best" or "want the strongest" don't really want to pay the price and compromise with something cheaper.
