Default To Babbit or Not To Babbit vs Inserted??

Well folks looking into a NEW Engine, Not a rebuild, Getting a stipe touring cam, counter balanced crank, High Compression head. The question is weather to go with inserted bearing or Babbit.. Looking at 2 different scenarios and have heard many different opinions. I drive the car daily between 45-55 mph for about 35-45 min intervals at a stretch, to work and back. Drive in the cold or heat and all flat lands, no hilly areas in the midwest I have heard so many mind sets.. Babbit is softer like the crank, babbit will last 50K easy, babbit was what henry used and it workd, inserted will last forever. , inserted is the best and strongest....etc..>Now i a asking for some simple opinions here. What say many of you please

Thanks in advance....
