As for me, I'll take the supercharged 6.2L from the Blue Devil (650hp please)...

Agreed, I would also take the factory blown motor because it will have been designed with a s/c from the beginning.
Really, I don't see any advantage of getting the regular LS3 and adding your own s/c. It will probably cost about the same as the factory blown version in the end, and the factory version will probably come with many more "extras" like better suspension and brakes that you will miss out on.
If you are concerned about the power, then just add an aftermarket pulley for an instant 80 more horses. I mean, how much power do you really need anyway? If 550 is not enough, add the pulley. If 600-650 is not enough, then check into the looney bin because there is something wrong!
