I would consider a demon carb over holley, the demons just look tougher to me. But they seem to be just a holley with a cool looking face lift with billet baseplates and billet metering blocks. and they actually a bowl site glass you can actually see the gas through, plus they come with a metal dual fuel line kit with a place for a fuel pressure gauge. the holley street avenger i bought said dual fuel line kit included. I was somewhat disapointed when i opened the box and found a couple of peices of rubber hose, some plastic connector fittings and some clamps for what i paid for the carb. If you don't care about the having the hotrod appearance when you pop the hood, get a quadrajet. I just like holleys and demons cause I like the hotrod look under the hood, although i will have to admit prob not the best choice for daily driver and economy. but as previously said, no matter what carb you get a little tuning will go a long way.

Mike, I've heard the 'QuadraJunk' nametag before & I would tend to agree w/you. But..... we all know original 'Quadra-Jets' are more commomly (and accurrately) referred to as 'Quadra-Bogs' because of the vacuum leaks associated w/worn throttle shafts.
New carbs rule, irreguardless of manufacturer..... when properly tuned.

I would recommend a Quadrajet or Edelbrock 1406. My El Camino had a GM crate motor w/ a 1406 and it performed awesome.
