Default Suspension experts, need help deciding which shock towerless suspension

I'm debating putting a coyote motor in my 70 mustang. I already put a 2012 mustang dash in it and was thinking about doing the motor too. The car is going to be a daily driver so I want it to be able to handle like a newer mustang. I'm not going to autocross it or anything like that, I just want it to handle like the modern muscle cars. I know if I do the mod motor I am going to have to notch or remove the shock towers. What suspension setup will allow me to reach the goals of a modern mustangs handling ability? The setups I've been looking into so far are:

Rod and Custom

Detroit Speed

Roadster Shop

Chris Alstons Chassisworks

Gateway performance suspension

RRS

AJE

Fatman

Or any other suspension not mentioned here.

I'm a fanboy of Rod & Custom. Got one in my '66, and they were the first. My vote is for them.

Street or Track, it is a favorite around here.

Street or Track will not allow you to run a coyote. Be ready for a wide variety of takes on these types of suspensions. There are strong opinions on both sides, I am not a fan but then again I am not going to run a coyote either, look for the best bang for your buck.

I have helped install a rod and custom kit on an early Ford pick up, the quality was very nice. My father and I are in the process of building a '55 Belvedere with a stroked HEMI and are using a Fatman stubframe with rack and brakes. This is the highest quality piece I have seen.

Good luck with your choice.
