Pauter not an option for the rods?

I've had CP's in my last 2 built EJ257's, the first one was built loose and used 1L of oil per 1000km, the next bottom end was assembled by a different shop (perfourmance) and it uses no oil.

I had Pauter rods in the first engine and now have Manly's in the current engine. I'd say your power goal/RPM range would be the biggest influence on the rod selection.

Any particular place in mind for the machine work?

If I need to build my FA I'll be going with 10:1 CP's and Pauter rods, probably wouldn't sleeve the block as then I'd be really pushing the power limits and turning the gearset to mush. I'd use JHH for the machine work and assemble myself.
