Default Suggestions for good all around engine

I am looking to replace my 302 from Indy Mustang this winter. I have toyed with several options and would like some input. The car will hopefully be used for 50% cruising, 20% Strip and 30% AutoX or Open Track events. This is hopefully, since last season, I did one trip to the strip and did not get to any track events.

I was originally planning on staying carbed, after investigating stack injection and seeing some benefits to EFI, I am planning on going with the Quality Roadsters Mass-Flo EFI system to give vintage looks with ease of maintenance. I want to stay with a 302 based engine, so I see my options as..

FRPP 302 crate with the Z heads. Probably enough horsepower to scare me, but I am afraid that I will be looking for more again next year.

DSS or Coast High 331 - Fully assembled, ready to go. Not too extreme of a stroker, so should hold up better and be good for more RPMs (right?).

Coast High 347 - 420 HP (Can you have too much?) Lots of torque.

Which of the three would you guys vote for?
