Personally I would go with a 408 or similar. I don't like the idea of pushing out every cube possible for reliability reasons(which is why I bought a 327 stroker kit as opposed to a 342/347)
I don't really have any first hand experience with Windsor strokers, though. But there is my opinion for what it's worth.

I"ve been running a 600+ hp 418 'stroker' for the last 3 years. No reliability problems. Granted, it's not a 'street driven' vehicle, but it DOES get the snot beat out of it, every time it runs down the track.
I also know of a 427 that my machinist put together that made (with twinky hydraulic roller cam), 500 hp/500 tq, (approx......was more, forget the numbers).
That guy's putting it in a late model chassis for street 'playing'.
It you spend money on good parts, and have a good machinist, you'll have no problems.
