You might get a few more inputs if you post a similar thread in the carb forum. Having said that I would say 99% of the carb guys run the MSD box. Some guys have had bad luck with them but the overwhelming majority of us love how easy they are to use and how well they work.

Off hand I don't know of anyone who is running a FAST ignition box with a carb. There must be some, so you might try a post in the carb section.

At almost double the price, you prolly won't find anyone using it over the MSD...
