Default Genesis or Survival Motorsports crate

I am replacing my ERA with a new one. I expect to order very soon and would get delivery near the end of 2010.

The car will certainly get an FE and most likely a side oiler. I am leaning towards a Genesis iron block, 468 or 482 cube, single carb, and about 500 hp. Hard street driving only and a lot of week end trips.

I have spoke to several suppliers and I really like Survival Motorsports. They are within driving distance for pickup (about 4.5 hours).

Genesis is local to me. That is always a plus if things go South.

Cost is similar between these two.

Give me the plus and minus of each of these guys for a crate engine. I know there are some other great engine builders out there, but I am really zeroing in on these.
