Question Best Brands for 351W build? (pistons, rods, cam, heads, etc)

Okay I will try to make this to the point.

Got another '87 351W block I am about to get rebuilt to support an intercooled Procharger system for carbureted motor. Block is at engine builder as I type this message.

1) He will check for cracks and clean the block (if it's worth it).

2) If block needs boring, I will find out how much so I can order my forged pistons (BUT FROM WHICH COMPANY/BRAND)

3) Engine builder will provide freeze plugs and bearings (possibly, but I was told by FRPP to get Clevite bearings?),

4) I'm going with original cast crank, forged rods (should I get Eagle H-beam rods), and roller cam.

5) What about heads (which is one of the first things I need to be looking at). Naturally aspirated, I don't want this engine to have more than 8.8:1 compression. So my heads need to match pistons, cam, roller rockers, pushrods, and lifters.

Any advise from the great and wise masters of the Windsor forum is highly appreciated.
