Default which blockguard to choose

now i'm totally building up the bottom end of my ls for some moderate boost levels. and i just purchased some eagle rods and i'll be picking up my pistons too. but i'm kinda iffy on throwing down all that money to get the block sleeved. i probaby wont break 20lbs so i dont see a reason to spend all that since i wont be running the motor that hard. so my other option is a blockguard. i have read soem threads and some people like the GE and some like the rage and others like the nuformz blockguard. is there a certain blockguard that will perform better ?

The way it seems some people have good luck and it slides right in and some people have to file fit it in. I am not sure how good mine fit, the machine shop installed mine since they had the block there getting bored, which I recomend doing after a block guard install. A block guard would be ok for 400whp but I am sure some one willl disagree with this.
