Well as far as your wiseco/eagle wanting to know if anything is better, well any rods besides scats are probably going to be better than eagles. Eagles are cheap upgrade rods, lots of people have proven them to very high hp numbers but people have done very high numbers on stock 1g rods too. Pauters, Carrillos, Modern Automotive (Howards), Crower, Manley, Olivers. These are just a few of the high end choices available.
As far as the pistons, Wiseco's are a good choice, along with JE and Ross.
I guess if it were me rebuilding to just run E85 and 16g, I'd do stock 1g rods and a set of forged pistons, plenty capable of anything that turbo can throw at it. But if someday you get tired of the 16g and want to go big, then you may as well go big the first time out and not have to do it again down the road.
If you want good cams and dont want to spend a lot of money, I've found a nice set of FFWD Connection cams seem to perform quite well.
