I'm kinda partial to the Holley 600cfm vacuum secondary. If you get the 4160, just make sure you get the metering block to replace the plate so that you can change secondary jets and not have to screw around replacing secondary plates.

Well it depends. Is your 360 stock? Are you planning an upgrade any time soon?
If it's stock, go with the 600. Even it is close to be over-carbureting a stock 360. If you've got, or are getting, an aftermarket hydraulic flat-tappet cam, the 600 would be about perfect. If you're getting a roller cam for it, then your purposes might be better served by the 650 or a 750.

Then get the performer RPM. The standard performer is useless unless it is going in a truck. The cast 4-barrel GT intake is probably better than the standard performer.
A 360 in a mustang? That could be kinda cool. Definately something nobody's done before. I'd use a Crane 349521 roller cam and ported heads with CJ valves though. I just cant get over the numbers it's turning out on DD2k.

Yes, it's desktop dyno.
Well I kinda hate to post the results, since it tends to inflate the numbers a little and overestimate the size of a cam. But since you asked, here it is.
With the above mentioned crane cam, single plane intake, 750cfm carb, headers, edelbrock heads, CJ size valves, and 9.5:1 compression, it shows 517hp @ 6500rpm, and 466ft-lbs @ 5000rpm.

If you can get an electric choke to work good then by all means go for it. Otherwise, I'd say manual is the way to go. I can listen to my engine and tell about where the choke needs to be. (full open or full closed for starting 
) Then I proceed to use my foot and the accelerator pump until it gets warmed up. That's probably not the best way to do it though.
I'd try the electric choke first. They have a setting on them for rich and lean, and it should not be too difficult to get it set correctly.
