Default B&M holeshot or performance automotive torque converter?

Yes, neither of these is a real hardcore converter but then again, apart from my carb and it's intake and some nice, open exhaust, I have no reason to suspect I'm making that much more hp and torque than stock. I guesstimate 250..maybe 260 hp. I chose the 2400 as my stall speed.

I went looking around and nearly had an annurism when I saw the prices of half the converters on the market. I spotted the B&M holeshot 2400 and the performance automotive street dominator 2500 , both around $300 with shipping. Those seemed reasonable.

I went and read previous posts and heard bad things about the B&M, but I dont think I'm making enough power to break anything right now..... I hope =) . All my chips are in gears and weight reduction, more or less. My future additions are maybe some aluminum trick flow twisted wedge heads and maybe some roller rockers (next year). Should I be ok with one of these "lesser converters" and did I choose the correct stall speed for my stang?
