Default transmission
I recently went thru the same drill.
Richmond looks good on paper; but several people/manufactures;Hunter, Unique and EM were not thrilled with their Rickmond experience. Several comments about hard and slow shifting. If your goal was a 5 spd(mine was; cause I wanted a freeway cruise gear) then most like the TKO for big power. 5th in only a cruise gear; mine will go 150 mph in 4 th.
If racing and a low rear end is in play you can go with the TKO ll with the .82 5th. Top loader are strong but you end up turing 3000 rpm going down the hiway, bad on engine, ears and MPG.

MY opinion;
