Early Style 9" Or Use Pontiac 8.2?

[68FBODY]

Ok, so here is the deal. I found a really good price on a 9" ford rear out of an f100, its complete drum to drum. The rear is from 1959 though, will this rear be better then the 1968 pontiac 8.2?

Pontiac 8.2 has already been powdercoated, new auburn posi, new gears, new bearings, stock axels, 12" rear discs.

The 9" from 59'
Stock drum to drum, I would have the axles cut to correct length, Gm ends, disc brakes...etc etc

WHICH IS A BETTER PLATFORM?

Thanks guys
