Default Blown motor - which Long Block to buy?

Hey all, sadly, I blew a head gasket on my superformance with a coast high performance SBF 427. Upon removing the heads, there was damage into the block and pistons - so we are going to buy a new long block.

Debating between going with

1. Coast High Performance (probe industries)
2. Roush Racing
3. Keith Craft

These 3 builders all need between 8-12 weeks to produce one for me, and am curious what recommendations people have. I also considered selling the car with the blown motor at a discount. Open to hearing people's thoughts. I value and trust so many of the great CC members here - I am truly grateful for any suggestions. I plan to reuse my intake, carb, water pump, valve covers, oil pan etc. I would also plan on replacing the clutch just for good measure.
