Go for Tapestry of Grace. My mom had me go through A Beka all through high school for language arts and it was one of the worst curriculums we could have chosen. A Beka stifled my view of literature and only showed me what it wanted me to see--only "Christian" literature. I was actually talking about this with friends last night. We concluded that education has to show what "is" and that A Beka only shows what they want to "be." It's pretty bad.
Tapestry of Grace is now what she uses for my siblings and I am so jealous of them! They are learning everything as far as literature goes and in order too. A Beka has a great grammar/vocabulary/spelling guide up until 10th grade (and then you need to forget it and start teaching your student MLA and APA format). But I think that Tapestry of Grace might even include a grammar/spelling/vocabulary guide too, and if they do, I'd go with it.
I hope this helps! I only took T of G for 12th grade writing, so there will be others out there who know more.
