electric choke or manual?

I just bought a ford with a 351M and a 2150 carb. w/manual choke; our Maine winters aren't mild; I am wondering if I should just rebuild the carb as is, or does anyone think I would be happier with an electric choke carb.?
Thanks

Rebuild the carb as is. The manual choke is best.

Thanks Torque1st! I had a Jeep with a manual choke that started better in the deep cold than in the mild stuff, so I figured I would be happier with the manual but I just wanted some affirmation I guess.

electric choke is the only way to fly, when you get it dialed in the drivability is so good even your grandmother could drive it
