MSD or CRANE Hi 6. What do you guys suggest?

I want one of them. This car is a street rod. I only take it to the strip to get the numbers on it. What setup do you guys suggest and why?. Judging by everyones answer to my last post about plug wires. Im going with MSD for those. Just wandering if MSD is the way to go for the box to. Thanx
