Just make sure they are forged. Weisco vs JE vs CP I couldn't say one was better than the other. All three are used in high horsepower applications and all have proven performance. The coatings you can get with them is another story. I didn't get the ones with a coating.
It seems most quality rods, even h beams, are shotpeened and forged.
As for rods. Depends on your power goals. I like rods that are shotpeened and forged. I went with blueprint racing H beam rods. They have proven to be worthy. My last dyno was 570+hp and I was spinning on the dyno.
I hope that helps
