Default Which Holley is best?

I've read and re read all the posts on this forum that relate to carbs and have one question.

Which Holley carb is best for MY purposes?

I respect all of your opinions. So let me have it!

302/350 hp FFR with 3.73 rear end. Mild cam, 9.5 to 1 compression.

Tuned for max street driveability. Reworked distributor curve completely.

Have Edelbrock 650 Thunder AVS and can't tune out the cornering stumble and stalling on hard stopping. Slight problems with the secondaries when accellerating, but liveable.

Should I get the Avenger with vacuum secondaries, The DP or the HP with mechanical secondaries. .

This thing will NEVER be raced but will occasionally get nailed hard on an on ramp or away from a light early in the morning. So I want the best street carb available. Looking for the smooth transition from idle to primaries to secondaries under normal driving conditions and at WOT.

Does this carb exist?

Will take all recommendations under advisement but am leaning heavily to Holley. Not opposed to having a shop custom tune it for my engine.
