Since everything else is forged, why not get forged pistons? I think it would be wise since you are thinking of spraying.
LT1s are 1 piece rear main seal. You can buy an adaptor to make a 2 piece crank work. However you may have to buy a new flywheel/flexplate to work with the 2 piece crank.

Crank = don't bust your wallet on it, but get a forged piece.
Rods = make sure you get forged pieces
Pistons = in my opinion, this is where you should really be spending your money, as I have been told that the stock LT1 bottom end will hold up to nearly 500 fwhp and 6000 RPMS anyways.
Here is my setup (or at least the one I plan on buying)-
SCAT forged crank
SCAT forged 6" H-beam rods
JE 12:1 compression pistons
Clevite main and rod race bearings
Oliver splayed 4-bolt caps
All ARP studs/bolts
I would try flatlanderracing.com ---> they have multiple kits for the LT1, forged or not, and you can almost customize what you want as far as a stroker kit goes, just my .02
Hope this helps and these are my opinions!!!

I went with SRPs because they are very strong pistons and if I ever use a power adder in the future I don't need to swap pistons. They also required no machining or re-balancing.
Good quality pieces.
