Preferred Ignition Systems?

I am planning to completely rebuild my 360 into a 390 with many upgrades I've heard about on this site. I hear a lot about the obvious benefits of changing out points for electronic ignition. I have a 1975 F-250 Camper Special which has stock electronic ignition. Is there any reason I should upgrade to another ignition system. I was planning to keep what I have.

Any suggestions?

I'm with Jowilker on this too, Durspark rules, as long as you have the late model big cap

Horsetruck, if you already have the duraspark you're in good shape. I have done lots of changing around on ignitions, but only because my 71s both had points to start with. The only thing you might want to consider is a nicer coil, but that is just my personal thing 'cause I like big plug gaps- .080 I have two trucks that have a bigger coil on them and a special trigger box but both of them are using the stock duraspark dizzy.
