The Isky plates are definitely hardened.
If I had to do it again, I would get the Isky's and use the GM plate as the template. I would adjust the Iskys to match the GM in terms of alighnment and throw a tack weld on there to lock them in place. Then bolt them to the head.
Done.

Assuming one did have an issue with the GM GP alignment. I completely agree with you that you now have the adjust-ability to dial it in and account for possible tolerances from head to head. For the perfectionist, this is the only way to go.
