Default EFI SBC vs LS Motor

Just looking for some specifics on why to do one vs the other. Currently I have a 350 SBC & T-10 with the following mods:
  • Eldelbrock TEC 200 Aluminum Heads
  • COMP Cam 12-612-5 Solid Lifter Cam
  • Roller Rockers
  • Ceramic Coated Headers
  • Holley Competition 750 cfm
  • MSD Ignition
  • Super T10 4 Speed Transmission
  • Center Force Clutch
  • Scatter Shield
  • Hurst Comp Shifter
  • OEM Forged Crank
  • OEM polished rods
  • TRW pistons w/ floated wrist pins
  • Balanced rotating assembly
  • ARP Head Bolts & Fasteners

So I've been really interested in doing an LS swap, even have tossed the above setup for sale, but a friend says since I've already got some decent parts on this motor why not just EFI it?

Now my goal is 700whp with a blower - granted this will be a while down the road, one step at a time.

From what I've read, with no specifics other than newer technology, the LS motor does everything better. From fuel economy to making power and the important one drive-ability. A big one for me is the reliability and turning the key and having it start, without pushing the pedal 4 times etc. Yes the 350 has never let me down but I'm nervous every time it cranks for a min, ha!

So why not do an intake manifold and EFI on the 350 SBC? Why should I swap to the LS?

To you guys that have done the EFI on the 350, what parts have you used?

Thanks!!!
