Viton vs. Teflon valve seals

There for my 11/32'' valve (Staineless steel) and .530'' valve guide cast iron heads.
It will have a no hotter than a 180 thermo, Mobil 1 oil, wet sump oiling, no valve stem cups, single spring with a spirl damper, .511'' lift, top engine speed of 6500 rpms, forced induction (TT's), direct port fuel injection (some fuel contact with intake valve stem), most likely be run a little rich, it should only pull about 20'' of vaccume and have a low $ engine crank case evacuation pump.
Teflon is said to be for race engines and viton is the better stock replacement.
What do you think I should run???
Viton or Teflon?
I have been to the Viton web site and seen all its specs when used as O rings and pump seals.
Teflon is teflon I use those seals all the time on hyd system seals to gas turbine compressor stage seals, many uses.

V6 heads, cam, intake manifold, fuel system, ignition, V6 parts blow out, prices 1/2 to 2/3 the retail price on NIB parts and well below ebay prices on my used parts.

Go w/the Viton. Even if it turns out to be overkill, you have that extra insurance & a good feeling in the back of your head.
