The LT1 will bolt in, share most old style small block accessories, and be easier to install.
The LS1 will not "bolt in", is somewhat more expensive (parts wise), but is a much stronger and better performing engine. I guess it comes down to your mechanical abilities and checkbook size.

I also say, best bang for the buck, would be the LT1..but since it's from an Impala, it's got a weak cam. What would be best, if you kept the LT1..is to swap in an LT4 "Hot" Cam, and a good set of headers. Also, as for stall speed, look at something around 3000rpm, and if you're going with the 700R4, then you'll want a set of 4.10 gears DEFINATELY, if you got a TH350, then you'll want 3.73's. Sounds like it'll be a mean combo
