Default 5.3 or 6.0?

I am at a toss up from using the a 5.3 or 6.0.

The car is going to be a driver (not daily but driven a little more than on the weekends) all factory accessories such as a/c, power steering, and power brakes.

First how upgradeable is the 5.3s? Like maybe factory LS1 heads and intake, and GM hot cam kit. Will this combination be possible and what kind of power would this combination produce?

With this set up would you need to run the f-body computer, and harness with the LS1 intake?

Same combination for the 6.0. But want to look at using 4l60E trans for ease of installation.

The computer, would any computer work? If I am thinking right all you need to do is reprogram it with your set up and upgrades.

The 6.0 would be great but 5.3s are so easier to find.
