Default Billet torque converter recommendation - 545rfe

I sourced a 25k miles 545rfe from a RWD truck few hours away for almost nothing. Now, I know that my original torque converter is bad so I want to prevent that happening to new replacement I sourced. Is there any recommendations you have for me to buy one?

Now, I want to keep factory stall as I am not looking to race my Mega Cab around. I mainly use it for long trips, towing, and plowing. I just want a stronger torque converter over factory converter so I don't have to go back in there again.

MODS
-ARH headers with high flow cats
-Custom Intake (Intake plumbing to rid of hemi hat) with high flow filter
-factory 4.10 gears
-33.5'' wheels/tires
-diablo or other handheld tunes soon to maximize the performance

I decided to go with an edge performance torque converter and will order when I am ready. It doesn't slip in second gear unless it is very hot outside. I probably will keep it around stock stall speed
