New torque converter 1997 K1500 Suburban

Hi guys, I am new to this forum as well as Suburban ownership. I recently purchased a 1997 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 LS with the 5.7L 350 and the 4l60e automatic trans. It is time to replace the torque converter and I had a question, originally I was just going to go with a stock replacement, but as I started looking around I started to consider going with a torque converter with a slightly higher stall. I was looking at the Hughes Performance GM22LTOW, but can’t justify the price. I recently saw a forum discussing putting a stock S10 torque converter in place of the factory spec original, my question is will that work. I found an S10 Pro-King converter and it seems to have very similar specs to the one actually made for my Suburban, except it has a higher stall (I will include the link to both the S10 spec converter and the one for my Suburban). Will this converter work and if so will it be as reliable? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
