How about making a full list for future reference?
1. Street only, forward pattern
2. Street only, reverse pattern
3. Street/Strip, forward pattern
4. Street/Strip, reverse pattern
5. Strip only, forward pattern, LBA (?)
6. Strip only, reverse pattern, LBA
Should there be 727 and 904 breakdown?
Does HP change VB application?

You could make your own Rev manual using a good core VB and purchasing an ATI separator plate. Using a mill or drill press with an end mill, you can modify the channel walls and reassemble the kickdown valve and throttle pressure valve in the correct orientation. www.atiracing.comP/N 723210, $49.00 Otherwise, the Griner 22G05B is the superior RMVB available. Can also contact John Cope and coperacingtrans.com 727specialist is a dealer for Griner

IMO, options #1 & 2 make no sense; 99% of the people use a MVB in either street/strip cars or race cars.
Everybody else can leave it in "D".

When my cuda was an auto I had a reverse pattern manual valve body and it was a full street driven car that was also run on street nights at the track. I modified the gates on the factory Slap stick shifter to work in reverse ,worked great.

That's how I'd describe my Challenger, too; it's a street/strip car... when it's running.

Is there any literature/books to buy that explain this process? I have stacks of valve bodies and a mill + tons of spare time.

Munroe's book won't show the transfer plate mods needed to build a RMVB. The pic below shows (in red) the channel partition areas that need to be removed. (1/4" cutter)
For those without a milling machine, a thick steel plate with a 1/4" hole drilled in it can be used. Place the hole over the area to be removed, clamp the steel plate to the transfer plate with two C-clamps and drill out the partitions using a 1/4" drill bit...mark the depth on the drill bit to prevent drilling too deep.
