I'd go for a BTS myself. A valve body isn't overy expensive but the problem is yes it can help prolong a transmissions life. However when the tranny goes it's going to be toast too from the debris getting into it. So if you have a very mild build then go for it and hope it all holds out. If you're going with a bit higher build then save your money for the full on transmission build later.
