Default side or top post?

I have 71 that I am putting back together. Battery cables now have terminals for side connection to battery. I have to buy battery anyway, so should I convert to the big posts on top.

Thanks

Why??
The side posts are cleaner and better IMHO.
The only advantage I can think of is that top posts are easier to jump.
But is any C3 easy to jump?
I mean they put the stupid thing behind the seat!

Have you joined the registry yet?

I do not see any reason to go to top posts. Stay with what you have.
