Default FWIW:

Over 625 hp I would consider the Forged unit.

A lot of vartiables not mentioned in this post.
Bob weight

I have seen more issues with factory cranks and stress cracking on the journals. That and snapped cranks back in the day when all that was cheaply available was the Factory cranks.
