weigh the pro's and cons. the 5.7 is lighter. the 6.0 has more displacement. if i had both available i'd probably go 5.7. if i were boring and stroking then the 6.0. btw i have 5.3 heads on a 6.0 and love it

cant go wrong with either setup IMO. if you plan on bumping the cubes go for the 6.0 IMO

I would go wit the 6.0 it has more cubes although the ls1 is lighter, but the 6 would be the way to go, also you can usually find 6.0's cheaper then ls1's

I like the LS1. Better gas mileage and great power w/ even a small cam. I'm biased though.
