C series makes most of its power in the top end, from what I've heard it'd be from 3000 RPM to 7000 RPM
DP is the more popular option for low end torque power. As the 300 doesn't really like to be revved to the moon (under most conditions, unless you've built the crap out of it and done massive amounts of headwork), DP is probably the better option. Better for normal driving on civilian streets, that is. The C would be better if you plan on racing it I guess.
Not to say that people haven't had good results with the C series. Anything will be an improvement over that stock manifold and 1 bbl carb. But, unless you're taking it to the track, I'd go with the DP.

I have the "C" on my truck and it works very well but the rear cylinders run richer then the front. Turning the carb sideways will help this issue on the "C". The DP will prevent the problem. The only reason I used the "C" is, I found one for sell about 1 mile from my house for a cheap price $125!
Ditto the HPand torque but you need to use EFI manifolds or headers to get the most gain!
