Ultimately you should build the style you prefer.
What are your intended uses for the truck? Street cruiser/"Mall Crawler"? Hard core wheeling machine? Something in between?
The IFS isn't much of an issue if you aren't going for a lot of lift and aren't planning on wheeling hard. You can obviously SAS the IFS truck, but that is a fair amount of time and money to do.
If it were me, and I really wanted the GMT400 style truck, I would roll the '87 until the GMT400 truck is finished since that would allow you to have a functional truck while the project is on going.
But in doing this, you may grow to love the ol' squarebody.
