Show me your plug wire routing!

I am working on my Jegs 350 and it is coming along really well. I am to the point that I am ready to route the wires and cut them to length... I am just trying to decide how I am going to route them and figure out what loom/separators I want to use to keep them neat and away from the headers. what have you guys found that look good and work well. I am debating between some moroso separators that attach at the valve cover bolts, and a set that would run them under the headers in more of a stock configuration...
Here is the engine as it sits minus the harmonic balancer that I installed last night.

Awesome looking motor Andy! When are you going to drop it in?
On the wires, I like the drop from top style, but with the looms today, you can't go wrong either way.

Not going in for at least a month... Nicole and I are working on getting a new place and we will need the truck to move... believe it or not but I just might get to live in a fire house, I am working hard on making that happen, calling in all the help and friends I can get, but it looks promising.
when I pull the motor I am going to get rid of the heater box and paint the firewall, frame inner fenders, and otherwise get everything real nice, then put the motor in, I expect it will take at least a few weekends to get it all done. not to mention getting the new exhaust in... I will have the bed off for that and will most likely clean up and paint the back half of the frame as well...
