I would go with some decent long tubes.. Hooker Competitions are pretty cheap @ $180 and fit my 351 nicely.. And if you get them through Jegs the shipping is only like $12. Or you can go with supercomps for the ceramic coating.. It all depends on how much you want to spend. But long tube anything will be a good start

You can get the Super Competitions without ceramic coating. Long tubes will make the best power everywhere, but if you're lowered(or not) you have to be careful over RR tracks and speed bumps.

Get good quality, but 4-1 longtubes generally make the most power everywhere. Tri y's don't make as much top end, but tend to make better bottom end. I wouldn't mess with shorties unless you're concerned about clearance somewhere.

tri-ys tend to work better lower as 67M302 said.
the other advantage is they're easier to tuck up for ground clearance.

have you already got the rest of the exhaust in place?
