Dean,

you will hear many opinions.

With my experience, a factory steel crank is completely acceptable and a good choice for your application. If it were my build I would find a virgin factory steel crank and have it prepped by an experienced machinist.

For rods, my choice would be Manley [chosen per the Manley catalog specs] or Callies Comp Star line. Either is completely acceptable for your usage.
