Default Stock rods in prebuilt engines?

I'm looking into buying a short block since the one I was going to rebuild was cracked. Still have a lot of other parts like timing cover, intake, etc, so I figured a short block would be a good way forward. I've found several companies that sell short blocks and complete engines, but they all say they use resized stock rods for their stock-style offerings. Should I be concerned about it? At least one company has been spoken well of here, so I would assume they know what they are doing. Still, I punched 'rods' into the search bar here and I didn't see any reason to use stock rods over an imported forging.
Use case is just a street cruiser, no more than 400 hp needed(for now). Would asking for a set of Eagle rods be insulting to someone who builds engines for a living?
