whats the best rod and main bearings for the street?

Ive been going around in circles trying to figure out what rod and main bearings I should get for my 350 build. I first turned to my engine building book called ("small block chevy performance vol 1") and it says that i should look for a strong bearing with surface behavior a secondary consideration.
It tells me that Federal Mogal AP bearings, TRW CL-77 bearings, and GM Moraine 400 bearings are the best choice for strength but they require frequent oil changes because of poor embedability.
in the very next paragraph it says that for a pure drag race-race application the best bearing consideration is one with embedability and lists the best bearings ALREADY MENTIONED FOR STREET, Moraine 400 bearings, and federal Mogal AP bearings.
So basically it just contradicts itself leaving the question totally unanswered.
I searched all over the net only to find no real "best suited street bearing". So now i turn to u guys for advise.
thanks.
