I was hoping the community had some firm guidlines because I have heard a couple of recently rebuilt engines and while I understand there are a lot of variables I'd be very disappointed to achieve such an outcome.

As I always advise- only buy genuine bearings and not the cheaper Chinese copies, often readily available and in genuine looking packaging.
From my experience there are still a few original stock SKF or R&M imperial bearings around - most likely with normal clearance. May be not the cheapest but well worth it.
If you do happen on a Three Dot or C3 it should be ok but I wouldn't use a Two Dot or C2.
I do not know what rolling bearing shaft tolerances Phoenix cranks manufacture to- engine builders should check to see if over tight.
