Default Harwood or Suncoast?

In the market for an SS style hood. what whould be a better choice in terms of quality and fitment, Harwood or Suncoast? The Suncoast hood is fiberglass and I think the Harwood is Steel.

I have the Suncoast SS Style hood, and in my opinion it is much more aggresive. It sits about a half inch higher and gets wider twards similar to the LT1 style. I love it and wouldnt take it over an OEM Replica.

I have a suncoast and prefer it since seperates it from the rest of the ss hoods. It is very subtle difference though and adds to the aggressive look of the hood.
