personally i would get a crate motor [350] as you already have the same engine in it already so cuts out heaps of problems with putting a different kind of engine in .just my 2 cents worth.

The LS engine will bolt straight in with the gear you have but then you have to do all the EFI stuff like the surge tank, pumps and wiring etc. Just depends on how much hassle you want. If you just want a straight in straight out deal then a crate motor will do just nice but the EFI will perform much better off road.
