Best price: Ranchos when they have their anual buy3 get one free promo.

 

Summary:

Ranchos: better for heavier off road use than edelbrocks, much more stout.

Edlebrocks: Great for a narrow application of road/light-off-road use. Differentiates between body roll and hitting bumps, but not nearly as stout as the Ranchos.
