Preferred Booster off Captain Fab's List?

I have his bracket and the list that came with it, and was wondering if there was a "preferred" booster off the list that is a little bit better than others due to size of the booster, more vacuum, better fit, etc etc? Will be a standard front disc/rear drum conversion on a 66 C10.

I was leaning toward a Dual Diaphragm (read Captain Fab's recommendation in a different thread, that the dual diaphragm is almost always preferred). Not sure if the 88-98 full size pickup or 68-82 Corvette booster is dual diaphragm?

Thanks!

Corvette Dual Diaphragm - https://www.corvettecentral.com/c3-6...-chrome-193107

And according to the GM heritage Center Download the 1988 C1500 Extended Cab had a dual Diaphragm.

Re: Preferred Booster off Captain Fab's List?

In my '62 V8 4-speed, I used a booster for a 1994 Astro Van (ACDelco PN 14PB4277) along with a 1.125 bore MC - ACDelco PN 18M1878.

This setup has good pedal feel and the Astro booster's smaller diameter fits well with clearance to both my air cleaner and the clutch MC.
