I have begun looking into this stuff too and I think I will go with a Compstar Speed Pack.
http://www.compstarcomponents.com/speed_packs.htm
Under the dealers tab are some familiar names.
Nice thing is this is a complete balanced and very good rotating assembly, not the cheapest stuff out there but I think you will find that "cheap" stuff is not so cheap to actually get installed and running even if the strength is adequate. Heard a lot of stories about balancing horrors and associated costs with cheaper cranks not balanced by the manufacturer or poorly balanced by them.

I bought a short block from LS1 Performance Parts, he also has a store on eBay...I have nothing bad to say about it. Steve there is helpful and will talk to you for as long as you need as many times as you need
