Which Tall Intake Manifold should I go with for Boost?

I have a LQ4 that I am putting in my 67' Chevelle with a T6 S88 Turbo.

I am about to order a Edlelbrock Pro Flow XT but I thought I should ask if there are any other options to consider that might be better.

My Throttlebody is a Fast 90mm and I have a 4" cowl hood so I can fit a tall Intake.

Xt fits under the stock hood if you care about that.

I have a 4" cowl.
I will look at the Holley. I want a manifold that won't leak. So I want the tb flange to have the o ring boss not the LS1 style flat flange.

Holley Hi Ram any day. They are great intakes for boost.

I have the Holley Hi Ram, but I can tell you mine just had the flat gasket surface for the TB. That being said, it would be easy to machine a groove for an o ring on the TB mating surface.
