Torque Convetor Brand (Trans Died)

I am going to dump the 700R4 and go with a TH350 and a Stall.

I have been looking at some brands and see that B&M/Summit sucks, lots of random brands that havn't alot of comments "Continental, Midwest, etc" and Vigilante being Cream of the Crop.

So what's a good one for around $300? The Vig sounds GREAT but I can't afford that along with a new trans.

I've heard some Good/Bad about TCI too even though that's what Summit/Jegs seems to like to sell.

Ideas?

I am as of yet unsure of the stall I want/need. Any company will make the right stall setup for me, I am just lookin at brands as of now.
