I went with the lockup converter in mine. B&M makes a speed sensor kit that mounts in the speedo cable. It reads the speed of the cable & has a variable setting to let you dial in the lock-up to any speed you want. Once you set it the first time it will lock & unlock automatically.

It works fine for me but I would imagine if I would have gone with the Lockup and a manual switch gas mileage would have gone up a few MPG if I could keep my foot out of it.
