Getting tired of the constant air intake noise, all that air being sucked into the carb.. and the Waaaaaaaaaa sound when I open it up.
Man I never get tired of that. If I could get away with running no air cleaner at all I would.

...just want it quieter for cruising with the wife.
You do understand that you then have to listen to everything she says right? 
And, even answer her every question/remark/nag during that entire trip...!?   
There might even be a chance you actually have to have an actual 'conversation' with her. 
And don't even think you can get away with an occassional "Uh huh"-reply. You're toast if she catches you doing that. 
I think I'd rather listen to that open airfilter roar for some 2-3 hours myself...  
OK, you caught me, I was trying to blame it on the wife. But its mostly me. Just getting old I guess, don't like riding in loud cars as much as I used too...lol
And I'm assuming most of the time I'm out in the car, I'll be alone. But it would be nice to hear the radio.

 Man, I hear 'ya! I'm the first guy to bash on Thermoquads, but the TQ on my 71 Demon 340 sounds totally awesome at wide open throttle. Sounds even better than the 6 pack on the Road Runner.

Do you have a hood pad and/or a rear hood to cowl seal?
Ummmm,, No and No
Well actually I have a hood pad but haven't installed it, and have the old cowl seal but didnt intall it after the paint job, figured i'd get a new one.
Does it ever smell a little like gas or exhaust fumes inside the car? The rear cowl seal will help prevent that.

They are for 68 Darts.
I would think 71/72 Road runner would be the same for your car.

Sometimes, but much better since I got the new trunk seal installed. Was getting exhaust fumes comming in from the back.
But I get your point, I'll get those hood/cowl/rad support seals installed

A radiator hood seal will help with engine cooling.

What ever I go with, i'll probably keep the crome Edelbrock to put on at shows, and use the quieter air cleaner for everyday cruising.
Probably dont want to run any ducting,
The 1994-1995 full size vans
with Magnum 5.2/5.9 V8s
had round air cleaners
with sound cancelling design ( Helmholtz)
that would probably be quiet,
and can be run with or without the ducting.
The airboxes with duct to airhat design intakes
on Dakotas with Magnum v8s
would also be sound cancelling
and you could
"tune" the frequencies cancelled
by changing the length of duct
from airhat over to airbox
(longer = lower tone)

68-69 style gets my vote ... quiets the constant sucking sound, still get the WAAAH at greater increments of throttle ... gotta get another one for my TQ, find a base ... 
It takes gasoline to interest me.

What does your car have for an exhaust system.
My loudest cars, on the intake side. Were from cars with manifolds and restrictive single exhaust cars.
Never knew why but after switching to headers and duals, all those cars became quiet on the intake side.
