Default Rod choice - difference?

What is the difference between these rods other than prices? The Eagles seem to be the cheapest, and the compstars the most. Are the finished tolerances different? Callies advertises the finish is within .0002 and the others dont say. So if you can use them out of the box vs. paying to have them honed... it would be worth paying a bit more for... but are the other ones equal? worse? Im in the market for a set of rods now.

What type of hp are you looking to put out? I had the Compstars in my forged 347 running a 250 shot. If your going N/A any of those will work. The Eagles are a pretty good bargain we've used them in our racing engines turning 7500 rpm without any problems. I would choose between the Compstars or the Eagles, Compstars being my choice if your going to use a power adder

800whp, so probably 900ish at the crank.....but totally irrelevant to the question I asked.
