Default K-frame choice

Which K- member is prefferable the older "pad" style or the later spool style. I am assuming there are no differences between the motor mounts on the blocks for the two different types.
Thanks

I like the old style because they weigh slightly less but then again I like the new style because there beefier especially if you run a high hp BB but I hate the thru bolts for the mtr mts they can be a slight pain when dropping your engine in and if you have a HV oil pump youll need to clearance the d/s mt slightly also the newer style usually has disc brakes attached but older style mtr mts are still available,the new style mts can only be found on C bodies for BB's and are getting harder to find,I guess I cant make up my mind..............PRO...........

Some people say the spool type newer ones are "safer" because if you break a mount the motor will still be restrained. The old ones will let the motor move so a strap is needed.
