About to send my 440 to the machine shop to get worked over, nothing fancy just rebuilt. I'd like to get rid of the old thermoquad, any suggestion on a street carb, brand, model?

If you are going for something that looks closer to a stock setup, a 750/850 holley with a short bowl conversion sitting on an earlier 70's square bore or m1 dual plane intake will fool a lot of people.

Nothing wrong with a properly tuned TQ. Send it out to Scott Smith for a refurbish. Get the throttle bushed. Or stick it in a freezer style Ziplock if it is the original. That carb is an 850. All you'll ever need in a street car.
Or for a new square bore the Thunder 800 is easy to tune.
