I've been running a healthy 265 for 29 years so far with a Holley Street Avenger.
It has spent most of it's life towing trailers loaded with cars 500km in each direction and has been a good, torquey street engine. The only problem I've had was the cam timing was wrong when the engine was built. Once I fixed that it has been fabulous.
I also have a highly modified 265 running triple Weber carbs in a Charger and it scares the hell out of me.
No doubt they are slower than my SRT-8 6.1 Hemi, but most people I know rate the 265 highly as a good reliable engine.
Everyone has a right to an opinion.
