Being that i want to route them over the valve covers, do either of these plugs come long enough to be able to do this.

Unfortunately the set I have bought for the LT1 was not, it was an under manifold set. But if you bought the cut to fit jegs set and the MSD LT1 style Plug boots.....

I've always had good luck with MSDs, never a problem outside of my own mistakes. other brands I've had arch right out of the box even buying multiple sets.

If you are burning wires because of your own mistakes, then why post about the quality?

It's not that hard to route the wires away from the exhaust on an LT1. Hell, use zipties if you have to.

The jegs will work.

I ran the Jegs in my LT1 S10 and loved them, hell of a deal for the price.

Street fire and Jegs are both off brands, they aren't the worst ones out there.
Get some zip ties and these.

Thanks for the help, ive been driving myself crazy with decisions on spark plug wires and whether not to get the super conductor's right away. So ive decided to downgrade for now just so i can start driving this car, many sleepless nights cause of all my damn excitement.
