One thing I did leave out in characteristics when comparing a stock standard and a stock Super of the same year is a Super may be prone to more body roll when turning at higher speeds.
The r&p versus sb debate depends whether one prefers instant response over some steering wheel play at neutral positioning more (r&p) or if one prefers a slightly better turning radius (sb). The latter may not be that significant when comparing stock models but if one changes tires sizes, has a change in their track, etc., they may be decreasing their turning radius to a point they would like some of it back.
Personally, I have a '71 Super. It has a steering box -- and it is in very good condition. It is a blast to drive as it is. But all things being equal, I would still prefer rack and pinion.
Conversions are quite reliable if done correctly.
Are they worth it? Again, you have entered the Personal Opinion Zone. I will buy a '75 as a second GL candidate before I will convert my '71 to r&p. Those who have done it always seemed satisfied, however.
