Webers are by far the best supported type. Parts are important with these toys and Webers are the easiest to get those parts for. There are also more sizes to choose from. One downside is there are lots of mismatched "sets" out there. The small differences in production runs are not good. A set is three of the same production eun of the same model size.

Solex are all very old. They were good, they became Mikunis. Some important parts are SOL, but most are same as Mikuni. If you get a nice set of Solex, trade them to a restorer.

Mikunis have the best record on Datsuns. They are easier to tune and such than Webers, at least the 44s are easier than the 45s. They are out of production and can be harder to support.

Dellortos were updated Webers. They were never well supported in the USA, especially the horizontal ones. They worked well, but are not good choices today.

 

Manifolds. Lots of limited production ones out there. Lots of small variations. Probably the Nissan Comp is the first choice. It certainly is the one to compare to.

Probably the bigger thing to consider is linkage. Nissan Comp had this well sorted for Mikunis, few others did. It is common to spend as much on linkage as a used carb set. It is common for a set to be available because the linkage has never been worked out properly. Mikuno linkage doesn't fit Webers and vice versa.

6 point aftermarket Fuel injection systems are approaching carb costs and ought to be considered for a new parts level build.

There is another member of the club SK Racing, uses Weber Jets and venturis, and Makuni floats. They are now OERs
