'70 stock 318 BBD- Good Alternative Replacement Carb?

I had another recent thread regarding my BBD woes:

I know these carbs are pretty persnickety having had several in the past. In 1977 I replaced one on a '72 Satellite with a Holley 2bbl.

I'm about to give up on this one that I've spent the weekend fooling with.

Currently are there any decent aftermarket carbs that I can replace this BBD with? I realize I could be opening a discussion akin to "are blonds better than brunettes or redheads" but I'd like to look at some alternatives.

It would go on my '70 Swinger with a bone stock 318 that I use as my daily driver. I'd like to keep at least my current engine performance and fuel mileage which is 16-17mpg mixed driving.

Thanks everyone.
