Default Hemi or Cummins?

Let's say money wasn't an issue....which would be more reliable and a better choice a Hemi or a Cummins swap?

If hemi, which hemi?

I was going to do a supercharger on my build but may be getting a nice bonus so that may change my mind on a swap...

while Cummins is good, you have to consider the weight difference while leads to weight distribution of your jeep

Jeff's Jeep Yard does an extensively researched plug and play 4BT conversion.

Motech seems like the go to LS conversion guy http://www.lswrangler.com He will tell you why he swaps out Hemi and super charger conversions to his LS conversions all day long.
