Cliff,
First off, congratulations on your project. I've had my 55 for its 2nd season now, and its always a high to get behind its wheel. My car I wanted as a driver and I installed the smaller of the two choices you have referred to. Its a stock, totally rebuilt 292, and it never fails to crank and start quickly, after pumping the accelerator 3 or 4 times first when cold, and not at all when warm. The purists will want me shot at dawn, or sooner, but I even went so far as to cut down the battery box to better fit the battery, including its hold down hardware. The next owner can put it back to original if he wants to, but that'll be 30 years from now when I enter the nursing home. (Sniff) Hint! Put a quick disconnect at the battery post, to prevent those battery drains from brake lights that don't shut off, short circuit fires, and attempted thefts. You'll be glad you did. Best of luck with your ride!
