Default Ignition upgrade...What to go with

I have been looking into upgrading my ignition system and have so far looked into components from MSD, Accel, and Crane cams. But im still not sure which would be the best for my application.

Right now, I dont have any problems with my car. This is primarily because I live at 7000 feet. But when I go down to Phoenix, which is a much lower elevation, and continue to run 14psi, I have problems with my spark blowing out. So basically, I am looking for something that will just give me a hotter spark. I dont need any extras like timing control, rev limiter, etc.

Another thing I have noticed is that the accel kits like the 300+ ignition (model#49310) is only for applications with Tec. Isn't Tec referring to an internal coil? Since my car is an external coil, that particular setup wouldn't work right?

I have MSD for 4 years now. Had on '96 accord, after it was totalled, I moved it to my '99 Prelude now (MSD 6A with Blaster 3 Coil). Go with MSD.

Cool. I have been leaning more towards the MSD setup. Thanks for the input.
