eagle makes some really good parts, your better off buying the parts and piecing it together though. i bought an eagle FORGED 347 crank ($249.00) eagle h beam rods (5.4) ($150.00) and probe 347 pistons ($325.00) flat-top. so basically i got the best stuff you can buy for about half of what they sell the whole kit for. I GOT IT ALL ON EBAY. and it is all brand new. i wouldnt buy these things from just any JOE SHMO though, i would buy from someone on there that actually has a business, like "the mustang depot" or someone similar.

D.S.S seems to have a good reputation when it comes to motors. I've actually been looking at a 347 from D.S.S for my next project.

I think DSS has the best prices right now for stroker kits. We always build what the customer wants, but if you drive the car on the street I would recommend a 331 over a 347. However a few companies do make like a 345/346 that are good on the streets. The concern is the wrist pin being close to the oil ring. Be aware that you also have to have the kit balanced, most kits do not come pre balanced. Like sn95 said, I would also spend the extra cash for a forged crank and rods opposed to cast.
