Torque converter Q's

My current tranny has been chugging along fathfully, but recently it has started slipping. It is the torque conveter lockup clutch(s). Every time it trys to lockup, it sudders, slips, then works. I'm going to put some Lucas's to try and extend the life until I can get a new tranny. That's the only problem but I don't want to put a new torque converter on a old tranny and have it go out from new fluid.

I'm planning on getting a stage 2 TH700 from bowtie overdrives. I hopfully with have enough cash for it in 5 months. I want to get a high quality torque converter too but bowtie's seem expensive. (I know Mike! You get what you pay for...) What are some high quality ones you reccomend? What stall should I get? It will live behind my 305 until I get a goodwrench crate 350. I might put a mild cam (MILD - I need to pass emissions too) so what would be a good stall?
