The new holley's and demon's are supposed to be near as EZ to tune.  

If you're looking for the best bang for the buck, the Demon Jr (600CFM)
or even a speed demon 650 or 750 almost as cost effective, and you get a
little better performing carb.

If you are camming up that 360, you'll probably want something bigger
than a 600, I'd suggest you call three big carb manufacturers, explain
your setup and what you are looking for and ask for their
recommendations.  Then pick between the three.

BTW: I replaced the Edelbrock on my 440 with a Holley 770 Street Avenger,
for the same cost as the an Edelbrock AVS would've cost.  I havent broke
the engine in yet, but that is coming soon.  

On my dart, I kept the original AFB, though.  :-)
