Upgrade Ignition help???

I know just the basics on ignitions. I want to do away with the control box and ballast resistor, and obviously get a better spark control. What do you guys (and Gals) recommend?
Now, I realize you can get crazy with these, I'm not looking for that. It's a warmed over 360 in a 71 Scamp that I want to be very reliable and I have to do the wiring myself. I was thinking the MSD street-fire system because of the fair prices but, I don't know which parts to get and whether to replace the stock distributor with one of the basic units, or what??? Thanks.
