Ditch the full length tray and use a 3/4 one. Full length trays are thinner and more prone to break. Body style may determine which pan. The Canton 15-452 is a nice pan for the money.

Another vote for the Canton pan, its a nice piece. Like was previously stated, don't use a stock tray. On my 428 build I used the Tomahawk windage tray. It's extra thick and stiffer than the original. I deburred all sharp edges and radiused all inside corners to reduce cracking. You can then use the stock dipstick through the windage tray, but it will hit the baffle in the Canton pan. The fix is to install the pan with a few bolts and install the dipstick. Use the dipstick to poke the baffle several times until it leaves a scratch mark. Then remove the pan and make a 3/4" hole so the dipstick can pass through.
