for the price either one will work:

1) Stage 2.5 - 5.3 heads from TSP
2) Sage 1 - LS6 heads from TSP

I'd put your money towards a stock set of 243's with a GREAT valve job and a touch of bowl work. This setup with often times outperform and be more reliable than a lot of CNC heads offered out there.
