S14 SR Rebuild OEM+ vs Forged?

Yo. I am getting a notchtop rebuilt. I can either get an OEM+ rebuild (oem pistons and rods, better head studs, acl bearings and a few other goodies) or I can go the forged bottom end route, pistons and rods.

Thing is not sure if it worth for me. I will never drift the car. I do not plan to drag it either. At best more of a street machine for the tail of the dragon and whenever I cross the border into Mexico maybe a few highway pulls against other cars.

Power goals are modest. 350whp seems more than enough for an S-chassis. I do not want a car spinning tires 1st-3rd.

My rationale is 350whp is nearing the upper limit of the stock rods/pistons and would not last as long, vs a built engine would be bullet proof (assuming tune and all that is fine) and will last longer.

However lately I have been seeing discussion on built motors, the clearances are not as tight so piston slap can be a thing and they do not last as long as an oem engine.

What do yall think?

Budget is not the issue here. Not trying to save money. I just want an SR I can enjoy for the next decade or more that can handle what I throw at it.
