Default tranny rebuild or buy new crate?

I need some help out there gentlemen.I dropped off the truck lastnight at the tranny shop,need some ideas on what to do?Do i just rebuild the stock tranny?Is there aftermarket parts to throw in the stock tranny that would beef her up a lil more?Or do i just tell the guy i wanna buy a new one outta the crate,and where and what do i buy for a crate tranny?Not towing anything right now but could be hauling a camper,and have a lil boat.Would like you're input an ideas thanks,jerm89.

If you have a good transmission shop you can do a suncoast rebuild kit, valve body and torque converter. If not you can order one already built ready to run.

I say get a full built Goerend Tranny. IMO the best in the business. Yes the up front cost will be steep, but it will last the life of the truck.
