Default TH400 for my Honda S2000

I've decided to ditch the 6 speed in favor of an automatic. I already have the bellhousing adapter plate as well as a custom flexplate (that allows me to reuse my stock flywheel). I'm relatively new to automatics, however, so I'm looking for advice. The car is mostly street driven (90% of the time), but will see some time at the drag strip. Looking for recommendations regarding the size/stall of the torque converter? Transbrake worth it (since it's mostly a street car)? Any favorite/highly regarded company? Specs below in an effort to get the most applicable responses. Thanks in advance!

2.2 litre (87mm x 90mm)...30psi...750rwhp...8800rpm redline...6500rpm 2step...Ford 8.8 rear (3.89 FD)

500 lb-ft is low? I'm open to suggestions (350)?

I commonly see people using a 3500 stall. There are so much brands to choose from since the th400 is so highly supported.
