Swamp Donkey,
Considering that you plan on going to a manual tranny, I'd go with the mechanical advance if it were mine. You get much more control of the advance curve.
That's just me though. I've had more bad luck with vacuum advance dizzys than anybody I know. I REALLY dislike them.

Mallory products are fine, but never have cared for their dizzy. I've always thought the MSD units were nicer made. I have a spare MSD 8580 dizzy that is new but not in a box if anyone might need it...
