Decisions, Decisions ...Which carb should I buy

My 72 C-10 has a bone-stock 350 crate motor. I had the Quadrajet rebuilt last spring, but the guy that did the work told me the carb was pretty rough but he did the best that he could. It performed OK for a while, but its acting up again and I don't want to put any more money into it.

I kind of figured on going with an Edelbrock 1406 (600CFM) http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...erformer.shtml, but my mechanic is a Holley guy. I'd always heard that Holley's were fine carbs, but not necessarily a good choice for the street, as they are rather temperamental. And I don't have the desire or skill to be messing with it.

At any rate, using the Interactive Carb Selector on the Holley.com, I came up with this: http://www.holley.com/0-80457S

From a price standpoint, it's six one way, half dozen the other. So I'm turning to my friends here for suggestions, pros, cons, etc.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.
