Default What the best gasoline mix to use?

What do you think is the best mixture of fuel to put in these beasts? (In my case, '66 427 FE bored and stroked with something like 11:1 compression ratio). In my case the purpose is not for racing, but rather for tooling around town (with occasional moments of showing off).
50% aviation gas? (Someone told me "yes", someone else told me, "it's too dry- formulated for 30,000 feet altitude"- whatever that means)
50% racing gas? (How do you really know what's coming out of that 55 gallon drum- hell, it could be french fry oil- these guys know I'm not a regular nor a racer).
93 octane with 4 bottle of octane boost? (42 gal. tank)
Real Lead (can you still get that stuff?)
Copious amounts of Sta-bil?
What's the best bang for the (big) buck?
I suppose this has been discussed before, but I did a search but the number of times "gas" comes up is nearly infinite.
Thanks.
