i bought a stainless tank from van's auto for my 69 charger.
other than being made from stainless, it is almost identical to my original tank. [minus the dents and rust

]
i also bought the stainless straps and retaining bolts. they are identical to my originals except the material they are made of.
this is just my experience. your mileage will vary.

If you don't want stainless, I would go with Spectra. They are made in Canada. Excellent quality and is sold by many vendors as a correct repro. I put one in my 71 Barracuda.

Spectra Premium tank bought from Rock Auto for best pricing too.

I got a Spectra tank (Canada) off Amazon with prime shipping for what I thought was very cheap for my 71 GTX. Showed up in 2 days at my door.

I used Spectra on a different car and it looked pretty nice but my issue was getting a tank that wasn`t dented . The Spectra tanks that I ordered came with zero padding in the box and they came in damaged in some way.
