Which tranny for the ford swap

Getting ready to put a 12V into a '99 F350. I am really leaning towards using an automatic being built by one of the big 3 builders. Anyway if I go auto which one, the 47R or the 4r100?? If I go 4r100 then I need an adapter plate, tranny control, and a speical TQ convertor. If I use the 47R what or how do I control the 47R?? If I go this route then all I need is a Tcase and no adapter plate. Whatcha think?? The F350 is a gasser so either way I will have to by a new tranny because there is no adapter for the V10 bellhousing.

Thanks,
Chad
