Which carb should I go with

I hate asking this kind of question, but I need the opinions of those much wiser than myself. The Quadrajet on my truck (the 86) is shot. It's running real rich, leaking gas around the gaskets and into the intake, so it's going to need a complete rebuild ( which I don't want to attempt). I'm not sure whether I should have it professionally rebuilt, or just go with something like a Performer series carb or maybe a Holley. The truck is not a performance truck, just a daily driver with 305 engine and auto. I am just looking for something that runs smooth and is dependable without a lot of fuss. Would appreciate your recommendations and if anyone recommends a Holley, please tell me what model number as they've got a gazillion different models to choose from.
Thanks for your help boys. (whoops...and girls)
