If you have the choice I would go with a 1500 build.
The basic difference between 1500/1700 is a stroked crank and different pistons in same bore.
1700 had lower compression and bigger displacement and yielded almost identical power.
I believe the 1500 revs more readily and maybe is a bit smoother.
You will probably be boring and using bigger pistons.
I believe my Saab V4 guru uses larger bore and pistons w/ 1700 crank
that yields higher compression than stock and about 1850 displacement.
