Default what valve covers to get?

what valve covers are you guys using with stud mount roller rockers. i have morosos now but i had to cut the baffle out to fit them on there and made my own baffle to keep oil in the motor. im doing a car for a guy now and want to just pull them out of the box and bolt them on instead of cutting out and fabing my own baffles. so what are you guys using with the same setup.
oh and look good but dont cost a ton.

Wow, where do I begin. I ran into the same situation and chose to spend a ton of money to not have to fabricate. I got the tall polished aluminum covers with the ford racing logo, which meant getting a 1 inch upper intake spacer, which meant now getting a taller cowl hood so it will fit. That was a lot of cash for the the adjustible stud mount. The covers where 100 bucks.

Oh yeah, I also had to do some fabricating on my throttlecable bracket. It wouldn't fit correctly because of my Fuel pressure sending unit on my regulator. The tightining screw for the cruise control cable was hitting it. Also the breather cap would fit on the drivers side because of the intake overhang and the breather hole on the passenger side was just behind the throttle cable bracket. My breather would fit there either because of the bracket until I put the dremel to it and cut off the unused end portion. I also had to cut a notch in the bottom of the bracket for clearance on the top side of the covers. Doing this I scatched my new covers![:@] I should have put tape on them first.
