Default TEA 317 vs PRC 215

I'm building a forged 370 and just curious which would be the better head to use. I have both heads all ready. I assume the 215 is the better of the two. What do you guys think? I'll more than likely be using a MS4 but possibly a 244/248 cam.

The TEA heads are good, but you probably want to run the 215s as that will get compression up.

^^Agreed. TEA makes puts out some great heads but being a 317 casting you will drop compression and that's not what you want to do when running a large cam like the MS4 or 244/248. The 215cc heads would be the better option to bump up that compression to help out where your cam is typically down on power.
