Default What Intake Should I Get

Building a lq4 and I'm trying to decide on the intake. Lower end is stock with ls3 heads, cam is 224@.050 .581 lift on both sides. A set of 1 7/8 headers and a 750 Holley will top it off. Looking at the GM intake or maybe dual plane Edelbrock. Anybody have any experience as to which would work the best?

Edelbrock Vic Jr. P/N 28457
I had a stock bottom end with LS3 heads, vic. jr. intake and old style 950hp carb, 1 inch spacer.
Ran great, drove it on the street and highway to my work (40miles one way), started easy and great AFR numbers. Was also excellent on gas.

It went 11.22@121mph N/A and 9.41@143mph with 250hp jet and the car was 3405lbs at the time.
