Seems most go with:
3.3
OFNA 26
Full big block conversion (if the mounts can be found)
I've seen a few run RB's 23's. Only one in person and the guy was a lunatic... so I don't know how it really ran. All I know is he totally wrecked his revo 10 minutes into any bash session he showed up to. His throttle control was "off" and "FULL THROTTLE!". Usually ended when he hit a tree or parked car...
Regardless, as for what people upgrade and why, depends on the rig. The later model 3.3 t-maxx's that are running revo spec axles, trans, diffs, really should hold up well as long as you have some throttle control with the drop in OFNA 28 or OS21TM. You may want to upgrade the trans internals (as you see fit) and remove reverse, but otherwise, it really should hold up with the wear items wearing out a bit earlier.
If you go off jumps and land WOT, your going to break stuff. But that is true with the 3.3 or even 2.5. The difference would be where you have teh shift point set, the gearing you run and you don't want to go WOT off the line time after time with a mid-block or big block.
The OFNA 28 is new, so you may just want to finish your season with your 3.3 if it's still runable. But if your afraid of the power it will have causing damage(will more than likely have quite a bit), get the OS21TM and call it a day.
Personally, I went with a true big block to give me more options. Then I could run a cheap 21/26/28 in it if I wanted (which I did at first), but I ended up with an LRP28 because they run so well and last so long. The power output is a bit much... so I may look around for a decent quality 21 instead, but still stick with a true big block.
