Flywheel recommendations?

Building my shortblock here, and one of the things they need to balance it is the flywheel I intend to use.

However, that is currently on my car and winter is making pulling it a pain.

So I'm left with a few choices, go pull my stock flywheel, buy an Parts store replacement, or go buy a good one off Summit/Jegs/etc.

Intended build
95 LT1/T56 into 89 GTA
Ported LT1 heads, flow 280 @ .550" lift
LE 231/239 cam
Ported intake.

With the head/cam choice it should be making power in the 6500-6700rpm range.

I don't intend to drag race it, but I do intend to Auto-X and HPDE it.

The Autozoo and like ones are about $106, but I'm not sure what their made out of and can't find anyone who can really tell me if they won't explode and take my feet off.

Then there is a GM Parts Direct one for about $225 I think it was.

Then there is the more expensive of a nicer flywheel off Summit/Jegs in the near $400 or above $400 range.

I rather like having Feet to walk on, but I'm also on a budget. Not sure how high you can reliably take those parts store replacements, or though I'd feel better about the GM Parts Direct one.

Advice?
