How would you build the most dependable LS motor?

This could be opening a can of worms, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

If the budget was generous, how would you build a LS engine to guarantee trouble free performance for over 200k miles? What mods, what deletes, what gets replaced, what brands do you use?

Assuming a nearly stock HP situation, being built for every day driveability.

I'm not intending to do this, since at the moment I just want to get mine on the road without spending a lot more. I just thought it would be an interesting reference for future builds.

Edit to add: another way of putting the question. If I came to you and asked you to build me an engine and warranty it for 200k miles(assuming I bring it to you for servicing), what would you build? What oil and filters would you use? Or would you flat-out refuse, saying there's no way you can guarantee that long of a life?
