Frame question - S10 vs Camaro front clip

Ok, here is the situation. I have a S10 (S10) stock, bare rolling frame and I have a stock 48 frame that has had a 79 Firebird front clip put on it (FFC).

I have the cab from the 48 and a cab from a 54 (very rough, but the one she wants to go with).

I know the FFC frame will be quicker and easier to fit the 54 cab to, since it has been set up at one time with the 48. I can get the body parts mounted up quicker, and that would be a plus from the timing stand point.

I keep reading about the S10 frame and how it is the way to go.

So other than the time savings - yes time is important, but are there any other things to take into consideration? Put another way, is one better than the other?

I intend to build the other truck after I get the wife's truck done, so the frame I don't use on her truck will be used on the 48.
