Roller Cam vs. Bored, Balanced & Blueprinted

My wife has given me approval to finish my small block and I'm going to take advantage of it before she changes her mind! Right now I have all the performance parts I need to complete nice small block minus a short block. I will be putting this in my 1977 Cheyenne sw stepside. It will be a once or twice a week driver, around town and to cruise in's. I have narrowed it down to three different short block assemblies.

Option 1. http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...D&ProdID=42913 This is my brother's choice, he's been in the restoration buisness for a while, but often has different ideas for the direction of my truck. Plus I don't really want to fork out the money for a roller cam and lifters.

Option 2. http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...&ProdID=197318 This is what I really want, bored, balanced and blueprinted.

Option 3. http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...&ProdID=197317 This is my seccond choice, same as #2, but w/ less compression.

My only concern with option 2 is piston/valve clearance, which should be fine if I have done my math correctly. I like the extra compression and don't mind running 92oct. But my brother is fairly insistant on the roller cam block. What do you all think? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

btw: In 4 posts this has already been the most friendly, informatave and well put together forum I have ever joined. I will definatly be a blue member in the future. Thanks everyone.
