To answer your question. (sort of)...
NEITHER...
or BOTH...
If it's tuned right it should last a good long time... as long as you're not running it at the peak of all the parts...
The more towards the peak performance of some parts will result in faster wear...
The reason people generally lower comp. for boost is so that at the upper rpms you aren't pushing too much compression....
Your head can lift off the block (not permanently (well that's possible too) just while it's under too much compression). Sure it can be accounted for but it's still a possibility... the more compression you're running the more stress on ALL of the rotating mass... so things DO start to break...
If you want a reliable performance engine you need to over build it and under-run it.... IE built it for 1000hp (or whatever) and only run 700... When you start running things at they're peak not only do you increase the risk of blowing something from detonation (shit happens... no matter how well you tune your engine set up there is NOTHING you can do about freak occurances or sudden problems) but also from general wear.
