cowl hood vs stock hood

i would like to know what you prefer and why. My truck will be bagged with 22's, shaved drip rail, 69 with 68 front clip, shortbed shaved body and all that. Having a hard time with the hood choice. Pics would be great of course.Sorry for the double post in the suspension forum, didn't realize where i was.

Maybe this winter I will get off my butt and sand the clear on my orginial hood so I can put it back on. The cowl never fit right.

Flat hood is better, make the look truck look longer, lower and wider. Cowl hood accentuates the tall boxy look of the front end.
