Default Engine Rebuild Question

Alright so im gonna rebuild two Chevy engines this winter. A 350 and a 327. Im debating if i should just get a rebuild kit for both of them or do it piece by piece. Im leaning more to piece by piece because i wanna put in a comp cam, forged pistons, etc. What do you think is best?

I've built an engine or two, I might not have all the answers but I'd be happy to help out with some questions.

For a good basic inexpensive rebuild kit it is hard to beat the Northern Auto Parts kits. I believe they are a forum sponsor as well.
