Default Next question, intake

Hey all, here's my next question...
I'm looking to try and do the "best practices/upgrades" for building my engine up. One of the common swaps I see is the carb (or TBI, but I'm not sure I'm up to that). I have the option to use the 305e intake manifold, or a 351e manifold. I'm guessing the 351 would be the preferred to use?
I've seen some debate over 350 vs. 500 cfm carbs, with mention that the engine can't draw enough to make the 500 worthwhile. What's the thought? Is this a case of "better to have and not need" the volume with the 500, or KISS with the 350?
The TBI sounds great, but it looks rather extensive in the work and parts to make it function correctly. Is this correct, or is it just fear of the unknown on my part?
As always, I am thankful for your help.
