About your choices:
I don't like Holley carbs on drivers. Crappy, leak-prone design that doesn't do part throttle (90% of street driving!) well, always tends to run rich leading to stinky exhaust, fouled plugs and poor mileage unless you spend far, far too much time dicking with it. And when the weather changes it's out of sorts again. For a car that spends a majority of it's time at WOT they're pretty damn good, though.

The new holleys don't have these problems. I do agree with you if your talking about the older models, weather tempermental...blown power valves etc...
I just put on a new holley 750 on a maverick which had the eldebrock performer, ford 302 crate motor. was deadon perfect besides having to adjust idle right outta the box.
Edelbrock carbs are very good though...not knocking them, just making things clear on the holleys.
