Which DTT VB and TC?

I am having to upgrade my transmission and since I live near Chris Strickland and James Northup, it just made sense to go with DTT since I can't go wrong with any of the big tranny companies. With the mods I have now and plan on adding I should end up at around 450hp. The truck is my daily driver, will be towing up to 8000lb about once a month and my right foot is heavier than my left. Most of my driving will be done using the DD3's alone or with my comp box on 1. The truck has 3.54 gears and 31" tires but I probably will upgrade to 33's.

I have already talked to DTT and discussed which VB and TC I should go with but it still kinda boils down to personal preferance. I want firm but non jarring shifts and not too much lag taaking off normally from a stoplight. I am leaning twords the tow VB and 91% TC but wanted to get some other peoples opinions.

Anyone running this setup and wish they did it differantly?
