Default Which connecting rods for 6.0? Eagle, crower?or....

ok i have narrowed it down to three brands of connecting rods for my 372CI motor project. Choices:

1.Eagle forged H-beam
2.Manley forged H-beam
3.Crower forged hH-beam....

i boutght alot of my stuff through Craig Gallaunt at gtp. mainly because i was doing alot of stuff with him. o and he is not the fastest person in the world.

but the rods are a nice piece. i did not want to go with eagle because they were the cheapest. i was trying to put some of the best parts i could in the motor. nothing is wrong with eagles but i have heard that some have had some flaws. i was not going to go with something as expensive as oliver or any thing just wanted somthing mid range.

Also i will agree with hyde i coated my pistons also.
