Spayed Main Caps- Which ones?

Looking at all of the possibilities for main caps:
Callies 22 degree
Oliver 10 degree
Milodon

The cost is the same for all of the above. The greater the degree the better dipstick clearance as well as strength?? Also, do I need the front 2 bolt cap and the rear wet sump cap as well?
Building a 355 with a 250+ shot of NOS.
Using ARP Main stud kit to hold them to the block. 8740 chromemoly steel. Good enough?

thanks,

Check with Scoggin - Dickey I brought the billet steel GM splayed main caps and front cap $55 ea splayed and $50 for the front cap. These fit perfectly with no dipstick interference, I also have the Lokar dipstick and tube.

Thanks, I will check on those. Anyone else have any advice? I don't want to have to replace these later down the road so I am willing to spend the money up front.
