My choice would be Len Carlyon at Subaru 4 You in Newbury.
All fast roads from yours and approx. 75 miles.

Your asking for best places to get it done so it wont be cheap, depending on milage but on pulling the engine it be best to freshen the bottom end while there or risk the chance of failure some time after a top end rebuild.

as said above, although not a 2.5, given the milage/age full rebuild would be a good idea.
