Question Edelbrock/ Carter AFB vs Autolite 4100 carbs, which is better?

In your opinion who makes a better carburetor: Edelbrock/ Carter AFB or Autolite 4100? Why?
Thanks,
Clay

Clay I've moved your question to this forum in hopes of you getting more answers.
I agree with WarWagon though.....those are all good carbs depending on what you're looking for. The 4100's are getting pretty old though so I wonder if parts are readily available for them?

There are more tuning/performance parts availible for the Edelbrock/Carter AFB design such as jets, metering rods, etc.

The Autolite 4100 takes Holley jets and power valves. So the tuning parts are quite avalible too.
