Default Which is better for not breaking the 10 bolt

Which of the 2 Mickey Thompson tires would be better for not breaking the rear end or would I be safe on both?

The et streets with 3 lines or the et street radials ?

I'm leaning towards the radials to be safe but if I'll be safe with just et streets I'll get those

I have cam 3600 stall 4:10 gears longtubes and built tranny
Here recently I broke my rear end on 28x9x15 slicks so I'm scarred to do it again which of the 2 tires will be better?

The bias plys are more forgiving on the rear end then the radials will be

with an auto you should be fine, m6 cars can break them at will, i have seen some 10 bolts in the 9s with an auto car, there not the best rearend but honest in a auto car they dont do t0 bad, in your post you have said you all ready broke one, if your doing alot of racing then a upgrade to a 12 bolt might be worth it for ya,

^just fork over the $$$$ for a new 12 bolt or modified 9" Ford rear end. If you've already broke one 10 bolt, I'm thinking you're going to break a new one, even if its been "beefed up" with better parts.(IMO that's some b.s. but a whole nother topic for discussion).

No matter what sort of tire you run, a 10 bolt will break. You seem like the type of person who will try to chase that extra tenth or two in the quarter, or significantly up the horsepower. Might as well just put the $$$$$$ up and do it right with a good rear end.

The bias ply (one with 3 lines) will be much safer than the radial.

Yea, if you're putting either one of these tires on, be ready to do what fastazzls1 said.
