Default Which best 408 Rotating assembly for the money?

I have a new 4th gen 6.0 block and would like to build a 408 fully forged to spray 200 shot of Nitrous. So many different companies make rotating assemblies,and I'm not sure who would be the best bang for the buck. Also which pistons are the best for Nitrous my goal is to be 600 HP on motor,I will be using Mast Motorsport LS3 255cc heads in this combination.
Thanks in advance.

K1 makes good **** for cheap. Erik@HKE uses a lot of them for budget builds. He says they hold up good.

I'm leaning on Callies for the crank and rods and JE pistons looking to spray 200 shot wet.

My Manley H beams were cheap and have held up to some big power. They would be fine in a 408 too
