Default BBK throttle body and intake?

i'm looking to buy a new intake manifold and throttle body while i'm doing my heads and cam. i saw a BBK 85mm throttle body and intake on ebay for a pretty good price compared to all the other intake/throttle body combos. has anyone used these before or will a ls6 manifold flow just as good or better. if so, what throttle body will be the best match for the ls6 intake?

is the FAST 90/90 signifigantly better than the ls6?

sorry for so many questions in one thread.

I have the BBK setup and like it... but you will hear a lot of people flame it with no personal experience just FYI...

the FAST 92/92 setup is probably the best out there... but the LS6/BBK setup is a nice upgrade over stock..
