best performance 700r4????

Looking for a transmission.

want automatic but to have the full manual shifting when i want it.

i currently have a manual valvebody rebuilt 700 that i did, but i'm not to happy w/ it. felt great for the first 10000 miles, but with the new motor i'd like something that i know would back it up.....so i would just rather get something complete, and bolt in.

i was thinking freddy brown, or hughes, but was wondering what experience everyone else has had w/ transmission selection, b/c i know the best doesn't always come from big brands....

p.s... motor will be pushing around 5-600 hp, so i need something to handle it....

ANY IDEAS???
