Agree its cheaper / easier in some respects to have a spare block ready to go in, but im sure it'd get boring at some point and would be nice to be able to have some faith in the engine your running.
I think if you're aiming for 200bhp you should definitely consider going forged for peace of mind.
Assume with that power you'd be investing some dough elsewhere, so seems silly not to consider it.
160/170 ish on a tight budget you can prob afford to stick to standard and take your chances, or go with hdi rods and improve those chances considerably.
