Default ideas, carb or fi?

Alright, well once again I'm goingH to re-do my mustang. I orginally went from the 4 cyl to v8. And apparently I did a bit too many things wrong. So now my brother is going to give me his cobra for 2 years, so I'll have 3 cars. I'm going to sell my DD as of rightn ow, 2000 explorer, and use that money to completely redo my mustang, paint, interior, engine, everything. I'm going to try to make it as new as I can. I'm trying to figure out the best thing for me to do. I know i'm going to get the engine rebuilt, but I'm not too sure if I should go carbed or fuel injected, it will be my daily driver. As of right now I'm planning on getting a new paint job (same color), interior, rear end, engine rebuild. and weatherstripping. so I guess I'm asking your opinions on everything.

Thanks

i have an 84 carbed and it has been my daily driver for 3 years till about a couple months ago i never had a problem from cold to warm days or street to strip with the carb i have a holley 600cfmwith vacuum secondaries. i like carb cause its a lot easier to work with but i have had my share of problems with my car cause of the old age and high millage but seeing how you are going to be redoing the whole thing you shouldnt have to worry about a thing carb makes more power for less money and you have to worry about a lot less going wrong in theelectrical department so its really up to you i would go carb
