I think one of the reasons is that it is dangerous ground for both theories. If it is radiation they have the problem of explaining how to get matter from that radiation.

I concur with the link that CraigD provided
Timeline of the Big Bang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was also thinking back to both books by Brian Greene I read awhile ago --
Inherit the Universe
Fabric of the Cosmos
I can subscribe the all time periods after the "Quark Epoch" (~10e-6 sec). That is I can get my hands around the theory of QCD (I somewhat understand it) and
feel comfy in that there exists corroborating evidence in the body of accelerators around the planet that validate the findings of QCD, Quarks Gluons and such.
Earlier than that with each epoch before has mostly only theory backing it up.
We have evidence of the Symmetry Breaking as the Electro-Weak theory separates apart into distinct forces. There currently is no supporting evidence on equivalent Symmetry Breaking of the Strong Force from the GUT triune set
{Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic}.
This is not to say I disavow this as valid. I just get queasy attempting to swallow it carte blanche with supporting evidence. Call me from Missouri !
