Are the rectangular heads better than the oval port??
Only if your motor needs more cross section & slower port speed.
The Diamond rectangle port is basically just same as INDY 360-1 rectangle port, except little bigger everywhere.
The Batten rectangle port IS the 360-1 port because, well ICH bought the Batten tooling when they went Bankrupt in late 90's. Only thing they really changed was the intake valve guide boss.

Thanks Ryan!!! I have a set of W-2's that are oval port but have the tops of intake runners are rectangled. Is that for better flow??
That's old school... I would'nt do it but have seen lots of them done like that back in the day.

the Battens I saw had a very small square port. I mean square, the floor of the runner doesn't start untill about an inch off the deck and the roof of the runner is maybe .060 from the valve cover rail. Was 195cc as I recall.
