Suncoast or ATS?

I have a Suncoast tc and vb in my '04 Ram 2500. I got it because my brother Dorian says all the techs at the Dodge dealership where he works use them in their hopped-up rigs. My other brother Chris is looking into getting a tc and vb in his truck now but he is curious about the 5-disk ATS. We both have the same year trucks, both have TST Powermax CR's, intake, exhaust, etc. He basically wants to have his truck outrun mine and the guys at ATS, of course, said that their tc is better and transfers more power to the ground. Is this true? And is it also true about some hearsay and readsay about ATS not being reliable? My brother has the stock tc right now and we're neck-n-neck through the gears until mine locks up in 3rd. So does the ATS actually transfer more power to the ground throughout the entire power curve? Please help clear-up some misconceptions!?!?!?!?!?!
