You're really wasting your time with a stroker kit. The gains are minimal in comparison to the cost. Not to mention, not too many people do it so reliability is questionable and, just like you said, nobody really knows just how far you can push the engine.
If you must, your best bet is to have the engine assembled at a machine shop. Have the entire bottom end balanced and blueprinted, which will ensure that you can rev to an efficient RPM range. Remember, it's not useful to rev an engine further than the point at which it stops making more power.
My advice:
Your money would be much better spent on a turbo kit and some rods and pistons. You would see more power and potential for even more.

Buying a B20 block would be wasting money when he could just bore his LS to 84mm.
I agree on Rods/Pistons/ARP Rod bolts/ turbo set up
