Yeah, i'd much rather get a Ford Racing remanufactured engine or another well known company rebuilt engine that to trust a company you may not know much about's reputation. Alot of these places don't have a warranty and they may end up pointing a finger at you if there are any failures even if they're their fault. Another thing is you get what you pay for, the place that will build it for 3,000 may actually have everything balanced, plastigage check things, clean the entire engine thoroughly and just have better building skills (checking more clearances) than the budget guys. Also it sounds like the budget rebuilders just have a generic engine to swap in, which i've toured a company that rebuilds engines the way it sounds like the budget company you're talking about does and needless to say i wasn't impressed with the level of detail and time paid to these engines (VERY little time is spent), in fact they can bust an engine together in no time at all, but i wouldn't trust the measurements they do.

They say every company can only have 2 out of these 3 things: Good quality, cheap cost or Quick service. If you think about what each of these companies is willing to do, pick what quality you could do without and that will help find what you want.

Good luck, i hope you find what you're looking for
