I'm not going to chose which one i think is best but with your motor, the first four gears should be tall where you use the torque to get through them and shift at 6k-6300 and the top two gears should take advantage of the horsepower and be spaced very close together for peak speed. The torque will accelerate you quickly to a very high speed (165+) while the hp will let you get those extra mph where the acceleration won't be so great and hence the close ratios up top. It looked like none of your gearings had that. The Vette tranny's have overdrives that are basically useless (other than great mpg obviously) and waste a good portion of top end acceleration. I'm obviously no expert, but maybe i helped.
