Default SBF Crank trigger

Looking at my ignition system again, used to have MSD 6AL with MSD 8578 Dist and it ran well, now have no ignition system.

General web information indicates crank trigger gives more hp and stable timing. I have also read where there has been no real difference with SBF in hp by testing on the dyno, track etc. My system is dry sump so I assume there will be less distributor timing variation without the internal oil pump drive.

I need an advance curve for some road use, have considered running two systems crank trigger sensor and a distributor pickup to one ignition box, by switching with a double pole switch so I could use the advance curve in the distributor for starting and on the street. Another way for a crank trigger system would be using an MSD 6AL Programmable with a locked out distributor and dial in the advance curves by laptop.

My main objective, is it worth running crank trigger over distributor on a SBF with external oil pump, any dyno horsepower gains or in my case not a straight forward installation with external oil pump etc?
