Another Manifold Question

Been searching the net again for Ram Horn Manifolds. Found the same old parts dealers that I found before so I don't think that's going to change any time soon. But...now I have some questions about headers vs. manifolds, and even the shapes and designs of the ram horns.

First, I know that our trucks had ram horns that angled backwards. But there is an aftermarket ram horn manifold that looks much better to me than our factory manifolds, but...it does not angle backwards. I'm wondering if it'll work. I also found a couple different types of headers. One called "tight fit" and one called "block huggers". What is the difference?

I'm not sure why but I don't like the long tube headers. So I'm narrowing my search to either stock manifolds that angle backwards, or these aftermarket rams horns that dump straight down (if they will work) or possibly some block hugger styler headres, or "tight fit" if there's a difference.

Can you experts give me some comparison between the models and maybe lead me in the right direction?

Here's a picture of the aftermarket ram horns that I like and the block hugger headers that I also like. I think they're about the same price.
