The original "crate" engine was the Target Master engine program started by GM many years ago. The name was later changed to Goodwrench. Since then many remans have wrapped some wood around their engines & called them "crate engines". Most of the GM engines are all new parts. Some of the remans can get you in a lot of trouble. At one time when I had a shop they almost put me out of business with all the comebacks. I have used hundreds of the Goodwrench engines & never had a problem.
Most areas have at least one GM dealer that offers the best price. The others get theirs from them. Jegs had free shipping on them a while back. That is the way I would go.
