Which engine, can't decide?

Well, one reason I was leaning toward the 350 was because it is cheap to overhaul, is complete, though not the best EFI, it works. I have all the harness and computer for the engine and trans. I still have lots of BBC parts to buy before I can put it together. But...then there is the LS1. All aluminum, light weight, great EFI, plenty of power. But, then we are talking about dollar bills!!! I have no idea which way to go...
