Best option for a replacement is a BTS or Brian's tranny from Arkansas. Also add a large external stacked plate oil cooler, a heavier duty torque converter and run synthetic tranny fluid.

All three of those are included in Brian's tranny and he now uses the 6.0 cooler as I understand it.
As already mentioned the two best "head and shoulders above the rest" options are John Woods and BTS. However, unless things have changed John Woods only does inhouse work out of SoCal and doesn't ship. Brian does have a few dealers and will ship out a rebuilt tranny, but by far the best way is to go to Lead Hill and have him do it inhouse. Yes expensive, but his cost is IMO worth every penny and is the ONLY 100% GURANTEED FIX for any and all tranny issues.
His tannies are so good than I know of several folks that have actually swappped one of his trannies with many more miles on it for a factory or rebuild one when changing vehicles for heavy use.
