Default What's the difference between these cats?

The dual exhaust w/ cats question again. I'm looking at Catco converters from Summit and all of them are universal fit, 2.5" in/out. The only difference seems to be the length (and the price). So, which one do I pick?

14" length (CTO-6906)
16.5" (CTO-2516)
12.75" (CTO-6906R)

Just put a Catco CTO-4690 Direct-Fit Converter for my stock '78 and followed it with a pair of Dynomax Turbo's. The Cat has 2.5" and 2.5" out. I don't remember the exct lenth but it was pretty darn close to the length of the stock converter it replaced. I'm very happy with my new pipes. I was tempted to go the true dual route but since my car is a daily driver in NJ I went with keeping it legal......
