One factor that hasn't been discussed much here is the weight of the car. For general street driving I prefer a lower stall speed on a heavier car; otherwise, the converter spends too much time slipping up toward stall speed to motivate the beast - this is called "looseness." For racing, the opposite proves true.
Given the two options, I'd be inclined to go with FTI's recommendation for the above reason. As for Yank, whatever FTI's advantages, there must be some reason why the Yank SS3600 is the most popular converter on this forum
