Question Best fitting aftermarket hood for a 69 Firebird?

I'm starting a new project and will be changing hoods on the bird. I'm thinking of a T/A or a 400 scoop hood. What is the best fit and make out there. Look is still up in the air.

Thanks for the input Tom. I Don't know if I'll clone the car or use a 400 hood.

Watch for the Hood bow to match the Fenders bow. I had to get my 'glass T/A hood cut and re-bowed (then re-braced) to get an acceptable match.
