simple answer in terms of function is EFI.

however, different people place premiums on different characteristics/criteria. what are your premiums?

efi will give you better gas mileage, and a slightly broader powerband.

high rpm power, is mostly a sizing issue

A Nikki carb can give better fuel economy if they are sized and tuned correctly. Carbs atomize the fuel a lot better than an injector (large enough for a rotary) ever could.

Note I mean OEM Nikkis, not f'ed over by some tooner d00d carb.

4500-7000 is stock 6 port territory. Street ports tend to be peakier than that.

In any case, you will want EFI.

Same goes for accel/decel depending on the carb and how it's oriented. This can manifest itself in a weber setup as a rich rear rotor/lean front rotor under accel, and the reverse under braking. Not good.
