Needing advice 2dual single barrels or 2 dual 2 barrels????

Ok, I'm still learning these 40's straight 6's. (newly promoted to shade tree mechanic), so please be patient with me guys/gals.
Issue is.. I've been given too much advice by too many on the new setup for my 48' Plymouth engine, not sure who to trust... It's a 217/218? and is being machined/a total rebuild.
First I am not looking for speed, but mainly reliability/longevity (obviously), but sound and looks are a added plus, I've added a new dual exhaust manifold.
The advice I need most is go #1 - back with stock single intake with a new Daytona Universal 1 barrel carb, #2 - Offenhauser dual intake w/ 2 ea Daytona Universal 1 barrel carb, OR #3 Offenhauser dual intake w/ 2 ea - Carter 2 barrel carbs. I had several old-timers give me each option, so I am CONFUSED as hell now.. ADVICE PLEASE!!! Thanks, Docwhit

 

if it were me,I would ask over on the main board..not here in INTRODUCTIONS
