There's no such thing as a "Holley Autolite".
The Autolite 4100 was perhaps the finest 4V carb ever made. 1-piece body, and 4 annular discharge venturis put it way ahead of any other carb even now.
These two features lone provide near leakproof operation, and maxumum atomization of fuel for power and fuel economy.

Driving it around or wide open throttle use (Drag racing?)
The holly works in WOT situations, (I guess) but I haven't ever riddin in, or driven a car with one that works as crisp as the 4100 or the edelbrock due to the annular venturies they have. For me there is no decision, get a 4100 or an Edelbrock, but stay around 500 CFM or less, if you listen to many on the interweb that tout a 600CFM you will not be getting the best performance your motor can produce..
