Oem VS Forged SR

[jared420sx]

i'm at a fork in the road regrding my motor build.
I know there are sides and opinions for each route to go.
Which do you prefer? Forged or oem bottom end?
Some reasons why, how long have you had which ever setup you chose.
And if you say forged include what you did to make your engine not explode.
Ive heard some bad stories about people going forged and would not like to replicate that if i do go that route.
