The use of a 428 crank in a 427 block is a common practice.
As to which crank is best is usually determined by what you are trying to accomplish with your engine, high torque, high RPM's, etc.
Which manufacturer is an often debated topic, I chose a Scat, quality product with a good reputation, I didn't go with Shelby because they pissed me off on the phone, but thats my issue.
At some point I may change out and use my steel 427 crank, but for now I am in pursuit of a torque monster, thus the 428.
