just remember anything you go for that is not the same as you already have in your car will need a remap so you need to factor that into the price. ecutek licence is £600 plus.
a complete sti or wr1 engine would need a new matching ecu because they have avcs heads and yours currently does not. your 5 speed gearbox/clutch are not bullit proof so if going for bigger power (anything over 360bhp) they will be on borrowed time.
chy is by far the best engine builder on your list but he has a lot of work on at the moment so i would say you will be waiting a long time for him to complete your work.
advantages and disadvantages to all the above.
if it where myself i'd go for a forged bottom end only and just get it fitted at least you know then it won't happen again, won't cost for a remap until you want one and when you want to do some mods it will handle the power no problem.
choice as they say is up to you and depends how deep your pockets are.
