That's really about it. If you want straight plugs, 452. If you want angle plugs, Edelbrock.
What headers are you going to use? That will tell the tale whether there will be any clearance problems or not.
The 452 is more racer friendly overall....however the clearance problems the angled plugs create are not THAT bad to work around, provided the headers aren't coated already.

I have the Hooker 5101 Super Comps for E-body... uncoated.
If anyone here has that combination maybe they can say, or if you're willing to mock up and correct whatever clearance problems might exist before bolting it together the angle plugs would work.
Other than that, for simplicity's sake the two sets of Hooker headers I've used seem a little more geared towards straight plugs. On the 1 7/8 set two tubes needed modification to work with the angle plugs, on the 2" set they didn't need much of anything. I've never used the part number you have before.
Been told tti's are a slam dunk with either head, but never tried them personally.
the convertible has the Hooker Super Comp 1-7/8 not coated headers with a 440 based 511" motor with Modern CNC "452" heads.
there are no clearance issues at all with the headers and I just finished installing a 4spd today and clears everything great. plenty of room. The 511ci needs bigger heads though lol
