Should I go Big block or Small block?

Wow, that`s like asking "what`s the best, blondes, brunettes, or redheads." :D It all depends on what you want out of your car. If you want a car for cruising that is dependable with good gas mileage then build the 318. If you want horsepower on the cheap install the 440 and if you want a quick car that handles well build the 340 or 360.
