97 E4OD Rebuilt Recommendation

I've read numerous posts regarding the E4OD tranny rebuild options but I haven't found a consensus yet.

I don't have any reputable tranny shops and me and therefore I think I should buy a tranny and have it shipped to me. My truck is stock with no mods. I drive it maybe 2 weeks month and I don't haul too much with it.

I would rather not spend 4000.00 on a tranny with my driving habits. Some of the tranny shops I've found are:
BTS
PATC
Monster Transmission

What do you recommend?

You don't need to spend 4k on a trans for what you are doing. That would be silly imo. You need to do some homework on local shops and find one that will work for you. They can't all be bad.

If it was me and that's all I did with my truck then I'd just buy one from ford and put a triple disk TC from racer x in it and call it done.
