Default Transmission Rebuilt... so many choices! help!

OK guys, fixing to rebuild my tranny. I've got my rebuild kit from Oregon performance and they kindly swapped out my bands for kevlar! I ordered the Sonnax cure kit, solenoids, manual, and my last purchase I think will be the torque converter. Has anyone ever put a heavy duty converter in? What about with modified stall? What brand and what options do I have? I really want to try yo get this as close to bulletproof as possible. Going to try the rebuild myself but am ordering parts a little at a time so I can do it right the first time. I'm not going to re build the pump, just swap out seals and prints. I need suggestions please. If I'm getting this deep I want to do things right the first time... anybody here a transmission specialist? Would love to talk to you on the phone with some questions... but want suggestions from other guys as far as what other parts I should replace...

I looked into a torque converter but couldn't find an option in my price range. You can up the stall by going to one for a 4.6l. Depending on what you are looking for this May or may not be a good idea. If you intend to race the truck and did a cam swap this is smart. But if you tow you need a lower stall. Higher stall equals more slip equals heat. Be careful there are not many options available for the 4r75e.
