Default Crate Motors. What to look for? Who has the best quality?

been looking at ls1 crates online in case I can't find a decent used one, have found several, some different setups amongst them, varying prices, etc.

what should I be looking for just basic crate motor wise?

where are some good places to get crates?

what about this: http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/4274...k-Assembly.htm

I would get an engine from a place that won't go out of business, and there are a couple that you know won't be unless something seriously drastic happens. 99% of the shops out there can be out of business next week.
