HEI distributor - Which one?

I am looking to buy an HEI distributor for a GM fast burn 385 engine. Any suggestions on which one to go with?
(MSD, pertronix, mallory, or stock GM)

Stock GM then, if you need more juice, put an aftermarket coil and module in it.

Be sure you get the right distributor gear for the roller cam engine.
