I like them both. I was a 340 guy my whole life until 9 years ago when I tried my first mild big block and went 1.5 seconds quicker than I'd ever gone, and it was cheap! I've only owned 2 big blocks, both were dirt cheap due to finding good deals and both went 9.80's at 136 MPH in street trim. So my reason for a big block is cost, I'd have 3 times the money in a small block to run these numbers with pump gas or a light mix of race gas.
And I will admit that it sucks working on a big block a-body. A big dollar stroker small block could run the same numbers or better and be easy to work on.

I have a 73 dart sport pump gas 408 which I don't really beleive is a high buck car. My car went 9.87 136 the first time out on a mix of 93 & 100. I have a few friends with big block strokers,some with more money invested in them than mine that hav'nt been out of the 10s yet. I drive my car on the street,none of them do. Not knocking big blocks, I like all Mopars,Just my experience.
