Attn: A/T Gurus. Which tranny should I use?

[SinistrV6]

I've got a mildly built 2004R but for my street rod I really don't have any limitations so what would you suggest? I don't mind spending the money, but I only want to do it once.

BTW, the car will see 99.99% cruising time. Dependability, not 1/4 mile E.T. is the primary goal. Having said that, my motor has Champion heads, 50# injectors, ported TB and intake, roller rockers, TE44....


So:
2004R

700R4

or 4L60E?
