Drop Spindles or Dropped Lower Control Arms

Just as the title says............. drop spindles or dropped lower control arms. Just like a dummy, I sold all of the Bell Tech stuff when I got rid of my last project (3" drop spindles, Nitro Drop Shocks, C notch and Axle Flip Kit). No I am trying to build up my stash again. I have recently acquired (couretsy of Craigslist) a rear spring hanger / shackle kit along with a McGaughy's C notch kit. All brand new in the box for $ 50. I am going to save all of this and pick up a Bell Tech # 6852 Rear Axle Flip kit.

I am trying to weight my options of using factory 15" steelies or 20's that I just picked up on the cheap. What is the best drop spindle that will cause the least amount of problems on the installation side (lower control arm / spindle clearance issues with 15" wheel). I know any issue that I may have using a 15" wheel on a drop spindle, will disappear if I use 20's.
