Might as well go 6A since we have a computer controlled rev limiter. I don't think you have to have a AL to run a window switch, if you plan to run a huge shot of NOS later.
Don't know how well they work on computer controlled cars, but if you don't want to waste money, get a Digital 6 Plus

Wish I knew if this Digital 6 Plus I have works :\ I'd sell you it for the price of a 6AL. I don't feel like trying to wire it up to my 90 Corolla to check though LOL

That's my opinion though. If it's a Drag Strip Queen of a car, then get one, it might help a slight bit. I run MSD6AL, either one is fine 6AL just has rev control you can swap different chip's for a rev limiter
MSD6AL gives you stronger spark at higher RPM range. People say they don't notice the stronger spark but its more about what it does which is giving stronger spark when the opti isnt doing it at high rpm's.
BTW, if you plan to get one, i would recommend the MSD harness for it, wont have to splice any wires.

I think MSD's # is 8876 for it. It lists it in the manual that comes with it, or you can find the manual online too if you pick up a used box.
