hello all, I'm still pretty new to this so if I screw something up please forgive me.
Anyhow i'm going to be putting a B&M shift kit in my 700r4 this spring and since you guys seem to know what you're talking about I was wondering if you could give me some advice on deciding how high of a stall should I get.
My motor is essentially stock if that helps.

An S10 TC will only run you $140 or so and give your stock 305 a 22-2400 stall which is perfect for mild street engine. I love mine.

I agree with the 2200-2400. I had a zz4 cammed L98 with a converter about those specs and it made a big difference.

I also agree that's the best choice for a stock engine and they are inexpensive. I have a 3000 stall non-locking converter behind my stock LB9 and while it is a lot of fun, it's probably not the best choice for most people. Mine came with the trans I got from a friend and I'm dropping in a built motor to go with it soon. For the stock engine it's a little high in the RPM range as the redline on the stock engine is too low. I had to swap out the governor on the race trans with a stock one as it wanted to shift above the LB9's redline. It's pretty fun with 3.70's and the 3k stall - it does decent burn outs for being a pathetic little engine.

First, get rid of the B&M kit. I have the modified TransGo Shift kit with Corvette servo and the larger boost valves, that will offer much more than the B&M in terms of smooth part throttle shifts and the shift getting firmer with more throttle. The stall would be 2,200 -2,400 rpm at the most with a 12" Edge torque converter, that you would want here. What is the rear end gear ratio here? How do you drive? Conservative? Moderate? Moderate aggressive? Or aggressive?

According to my RPO codes, I have the 3.27 rear end. And my driving style is closer to moderate aggressive than i'd like to admit.
