What stall RPM for billet converter?

Looking at getting a billet converter from who ever I choose. But am looking for ideas on what is a good stall rpm for my rig?

Looking to run the Smarty Jr on possibly the high setting and towing a 10k trailer. Right now if I run on the 100hp setting I feel like all the power is going to no where and the motor just revs. 70hp is a nice for a factory converter to me. A performance valve body will be put in as well in the future.

Also if given the choice of a converter or a valve body which one first? Can't swing both at same due to $

I would assume that a single lock up would be better for my above plans?
