Default Which flywheel setup??

I am in the process of swapping a 6.0 in my car to run with my 400 turbo with old school convertor. I have two possible flywheel and spacer setups and can't decide which one would be best or get a straight answer on if I would have to change starters to run one vs. the other. Below are the two choices that I have if someone can help me out. I know the first setup works with my starter I have now but I am thinking the other setup might be a little more balanced since I don't have to use the shims with it although I dont think my starter will work since the whole flywheel moves back away from the rear of the block. Anyone ran into this?

1. 98 flywheel dual pattern, Hughes torque convertor adaptor, and machined torque convertor shims, Arp convertor bolts

2. 2003 flywheel from a 6.0 with a 4L80, GM crank spacer + Longer Crankshaft bolts, Arp convertor bolts
