Driveability is very subjective. Driveability on the street with a four speed transmission can be super touchy. I'd start with the dual AFB setup since those carbs have nice idle circuits and driveability is usually pretty nice. I've seen people asking crazy money for those rat roaster intakes so another option is to sell that stuff for a pile of cash and then go buy something that will work really well on the street. I can't tell from your questions if you are more into driveability or looks. If you just want something to look great and you don't really care how it drives then the rat roaster is a good choice. If you want to be able to drive the car smoothly at slow speeds down residential streets then you should probably pull the trigger on a different intake.
