Carb
It's a really tough choice. I would say carb for sure, but the only thing is that I don't trust any carb to give reliable operation when it's sitting most of the time. That's where the Pro-Jection shines.
In my experience, carbs like to fail. No, they LOVE to fail. They revel in it like a pig in mud, even squealing like one as the engine struggles to start. Every carb'd vehicle I know regularly has fits at the worst possible time, and especially after they sit. I gave my shiny new Truck Avenger to a friend to use on his Blazer. It worked flawlessly on my Jeep (aside from hard starts on hot days due to fuel evaporation due to annular boosters), but then I gave it to him and it started having all kinds of issues because he only started it once a week and drove it once a month. Constant sticking choke and fast-idle issues, and then it finally ended up flooding out over the vent tubes after idling for a few minutes. It must have only had less than 10,000 miles total on it. I know because I bought it new. He doesn't know carbs and I'm busy, so he ended up having to go take it in for a "rebuild". $$$
You might want to see if you can get the Pro-Jection working, but I wouldn't waste too much money or time on it because when that wild analog box starts to fail (if it hasn't already), it's going to throw even the most tech-savvy for a loop.
