Question Best torque converter

If you were going to buy a triple disk converter for these trucks what would you buy? They can range from 500 to 1,500 dollars. Thanks in advance for any info or opinion's.

I am NOT a fan of mating an expensive TC with a used trans. Sure, the trans can break even when new but a used trans has a higher chance of breakage. When that happens, you have to cut your TC apart, clean it, weld it back together and balance it. $$$$.
