All depends on your mechanical tastes and desires. (and wallet.)

Pro's to Overboring:

Bigger displacement means more power. (Schwing!) Since more power is
always a good thing, that's a definite pro! 

Cons to Overboring:

Umm...... Ok, well, its that much less material for you to overbore in
the future. That means that if you overbore it too much, then eventually
the block will become useless. Typically a block becomes useless long
before that happens. It was the best "con" I could come up with. 
Seriously, the cons would definitely be the cost involved. (IE, machine
shop labor.) 

Pro's to Powdercoating:

Looks good.
Lasts a long time.
Durable.
great protection against corrosion.

Con's to Powdercoating:

Cost.
Availability.
you might not get the color you wanted.... I dunno. 

Anyhoo...
