I'm not sure there is a right or wrong on this subject. It depends on how long a rod you're talking about, and what the application is for the engine you're building. I'm gonna put a link here ... its a long article, but its very interesting, and there is a lot of logic in what he says IMO. Its related to some Honda modifications so you'll have to get past the honda part (about the middle of the article where it starts ... "Long rod .... You have no idea how many")
This was written by a guy some say is the Albert Enstein of engine design, and others swear is the biggest con man since P.T. Barnum.

Like i said its long and technical, but there is a lot one could learn here, and food for thought and probably debate too
