Which one's the better engine?

Ok, since the price is about the same, take that out of the equation. I'm dead set on a 383, so which is the better engine. Looking for reliability in a daily driver with plenty of low end torque. I'm by no means an engine guru, so hoping you guys can tell mem which one is better. Definitely like that they both have forged cranks and roller cams. I know that some of the Smeding engine text is hard to read, so here's what is says...

"Our years of experience enable us to tailor Smeding engine packages to your specific needs, and if pulling power is what you're after, then this package is for you. For one-ton work trucks, four wheelers, and heavy duty towing, here is the low-end torquer for you. Thanks to the high vacuum you'll also receive good fuel economy.


• Dyno tuned and calibrated with print out
• Stock idle
• Works well with overdrive
• Works with power brakes
• Requires 87 octane fuel
• Requires stock stall converters
• Accepts mechanical fuel pump
• 2 year limited warranty, unlimited mileage"
