I have been getting a mix of feedback, some that is conflicting, I think that I have come to a head and I think I have made a decision as far as frame and build up.

That sounds like an excellent build. one suggestion, save a ton of money on the regular SL eggbeaters and get the Truvativ Noir cranks, you will not regret it.
