Well you have two I beam and one H beam in there my structural preference is for the I beam.
I find the manufacturer horse power rating on all connecting rods just to know where the limitation are.

Well......the Oliver's and Dyers are made completely in the USA from the raw materials to finish machining while the Callies are sourced from China.....
Either theOlivers or Dyers would work for me!

Compstar components were introduced in 2004, as a product line designed to meet and exceed the requirements of today’s Sportsman Racer. They are forged and semi-finished at various offshore locations. Out of respect for our customers and their integrity, Callies will not hide this fact. Instead, we are committed to constantly examine and evaluate these components, enabling Callies to offer the best offshore components available.

Any of the above are first rate. Call the mfg's to see what they tell you. I personally would go with the one who offers the most insight and technical details. Chances are that mfg likely has the strictest tolerances, more work done in house, etc and you know what you're working with. The more work done in house where the product was designed, the easier it is to maintain consistently quality, regardless where the actual finishing work is done, in the U.S. or somewhere in Asia. It may also indicate how stable the company is and if they'll be around in years to come for any potential support.
Just some things to consider.
