You have to go with what you will be happy with Lee. If not just for piece of mind to not be worrying about it all the time. I built my eng back in 2011 and it seemed like a lot of people were using 440Source H and I beam rods with good luck and my brother had run a set of their I beams in his race car with good luck. And I knew I would only be racing my car once or twice a year. I run it hard at the tack but I don't street race and I really don't run it hard on the street.

But its been together since June 2011 and I just went racing two weeks ago and all is still going fine. Since I knew I would be mostly doing street cruising and had heard all good about them back when I built my eng I felt very good running them with no worries. If I raced a lot and ran my car hard all the time then I would spending more on better H beams. Like you Lee I wanted to run what I felt fine with and I felt they would work good for my application with them. So far I have had great results with them. But I don't blame you for going with what you are comfortable with. I cant say if the ones today are of as good quality but from my results I would have no problem with them in a driver car that I was not racing. Course with all I hear now a days on a build I would plan to race a lot I think I would be going with the H beam also. Price was also a factor when I built my eng as I had just gotten divorced and had also just gone on disability because of my back , knee and joint problems. Good luck with your build Lee as I am sure it will turn out good for you. Ron
