Default Recommendations for where to get a 4L80E?

I'm planning the initial parts of my build and I'm seriously considering the 4L80E with the Shrifter kit. Any recommendations are welcome on where to obtain the tranny. I also welcome any recommendations on a different tranny if you are opposed to the 4L80E. I have read through the recommendations a few times on the T56/4L80E Poll; I just want emphasis on the fact that my car will be a daily driver to include a cross country trip when I move to my next duty station upon returning the the States. Any and all advice is welcomed.

Bowler is probably the most recognized builder here and on Pt.com

Performabuilt and FLT (finish line trans) do a lot of transmissions for the guys at LS1 tech.

Looked into the 4l65e? Might be an easier fit, cheaper, and can go well past 500RWHP according to what I have read. Guys on LS1 tech push it into the 10's

When you wanna go the shrifter way, contact Steve from twistmachine.com. He will steer you in the right direction. He is working closely with Mark Bowler.
