Patriot Iron Vortec heads

I am getting some patriot vortec heads 2151 but I am not sure which manifold to use. I have a choice of a regular and a vortec style edelbrock RPM performer manifold for the same price each used and in good shape. Does anyone know which lines up better with the ports?

i would use the vortec manifold... it has taller intake runners that line up much better with the intake port on those vortec style heads
