360 - Rebuild - Information & Opinions Needed

I see this has become quite the discussion on valve job angles, which is a good read but as it sits (at this point) I won't be getting any of that done. Most I'll do is clean the heads up a touch myself to smooth them out, nothing major at all.

Now, I've seen some posts mention balancing. I've read it's a good idea for less wear and smoother engine, but is it totally necessary in this application? ie. a street motor in a truck, that I don't intend on doing high RPM pulls all the time. Just a basic cruiser that if I feel like I wanna get into it a bit and stomp the gas for a little fun, I can without worries.

Also, if balancing is a big issue, would it be smarter to go with the Speedpro pistons (https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/slp-h116cp/overview/make/dodge) which are a closer weight to a stock piston, and make up for the small loss in compression by decking the block a little more?

Thanks again for all the info, it's a great read and discussion!
