Well you'd really benefit from a higher stall, especially since you don't have to worry about the 3K OBDI issue.
I just got my first A4 (drove M6s before) so I don't have a lot of driving experience with higher stalls, but I suppose a 2600 would be good, although I'd probably go with a 2800-3000 if it was my car.
FWIW, most hotcams I've tuned before were in the 2400-2600 range.

The reason I ask is that the trans shop that is custom making my converter took all the specs of what I'm running and said to go with a 2500 stall for optimum performance. I thought it was kinda low.

I'm not sure what exactly has been done to your tune, but improved closed throttle timing usually helps the brake issue.
Also, I've seen the D "jumping" on cars with the line pressure set high for 0% throttle. I always leave that at 0.
As for the high stall issue, it's a shifting issue (the car doesn't want to shift into next gear, hits the rev limiter, then soft lands into 3rd). This usually happens with sticky tires/slicks.

I drive it everyday back and forth to class in college, but I am use to it so its not a big deal.
