Well all three will if built correctly, it's a budget choice. You can spend millions on the best parts in the world and if they are assembled wrong it wont matter.
Its a budget choice. WHO's building the engine? Have they ever built an LS engine before? I wouldnt throw coin on expensive parts if its someones first ls engine. Lots of people who are SBC experts screw them up royally, my builder fixes them daily.

Thats a good choice. As long as its tuned properly and maintained regularly it should last you a very long time. Assembly is critical of course but the parts are good parts and many many people have great success with them.
