4l60e or 4l80e for 5.3 swap?

So I recently picked up a 5.3 which I am having rebuilt. going to put a little wilder cam in it (not too crazy) - goal is around 375hp afterwards.

I already have a 2wd 4l60e transmission I planned to use for the 5.3 swap into my 87' 2wd short bed C10. The transmission needs to be rebuilt, and have some upgrades done to handle the power of the 5.3 after the rebuild.

I ran accross a 4l80e 2wd on CL today - ad says it needs a rebuild which is fine - planning to do that anyways.

Would I be better off with stock rebuild 4l80e or a built up 4l60e? I know the 4l60e has better 1st gear ratio and is more compact in size.

Thoughts?
