Question what brand for my throttle body?

im getting an ss style functional hood with the air box in a few months when i can afford it. im also looking in to an LE top end set up and i decided to get a 58 mm throttle body. i was wondering what the best brand is BBK, Holley, edelbrock? also do you think i should get an intake manifold upgrade while im at it?

I have a Holley 52mm and its been good so far. I checked the TPS voltage and the IAC out when I put it on. Ended up slotting the TPS to get it into the proper voltage range and it doesn't hang up like I've heard some do. Nice piece to look at too.

I like the AS&M with BBK gaskets, for as nice as a TB as the AS&M is, they sure do give you some junky paper gaskets.
