I did a lot of research and talked to a lot of people before making the choice to build a 331. The 347 simpily didn't fit what I wanted to do with the car, which will be my daily driver and see the track a few times. This motor has to last me a long time and I won't have money to keep rebuilding it. I've head of too many cases that after 10,000 347's started burning oil. My Dad is also an engine builder and helped me make this decision. The 347 is still a great motor, like PKRWUD said, it all depends on what you want to do with your car.
