Manual reverse body and shifter

I know full manual bodies are for the truly dedicated,but I dont want to leave anthing on the table this time. I've had various shift kits and it was never quite good enough. So if a manual/reverse will make me unhappy whats the best compromise while leaning more towards track?

I guess another source of answeres might be my 727 book by Carl Munroe.I'll have a look. Kind of addicted to posting for answeres here,lol...
