Question HEI center plate question

Had some extra time to tinker in my garage lately.
And while cleaning up some old parts I stumbled
into some old HEI parts. In relation to the size and
shape of the center cam which is more preferable.
The two I have are the 364 which is flatter or narrower
and gives 24 degree of advance using 139 weights.
Also have a 396 which is noticeably wider and gives
23 degrees of advance with same weights.
My HEI is a DUI and it’s center cam closely resembles
The 396 factory price. Just wondering if the rate
Of advance do to shape plays a factor and which
Is more preferable. This would be using original
Heavy HEI springs and weights.

Just had some extra time and was pondering
Why they are shaped so different.
