Which new HEI distributor to buy?

I am about to buy a crate 350 for my truck. I want to go with a new HEI and get rid of the ESC distributor that is in there now.

The engine is going to be a stock 350. No performance stuff, no racing, just a daily driver. I don't need or want the latest and greatest. I just want a really reliable setup. Did I mention that I'm on a budget?

Has anyone used the inexpensive aftermarket HEIs? Do they hold up over time? Any to recommend? Any I should avoid?

Summit has a Summit branded blueprinted all new HEI for $140. Jeg's has a Jeg's branded all new HEI that is normally $99 on sale for $89. Speedway Motors has a generic one for $99. All of them say they are complete with module, rotor, cap, and coil. Has anyone used any of these?

If you know of other sources for a decent rebuilt or new distributor please mention it.
