Default weatherstripping

Need help from a Guru on my 70 bb. I'm going to re do all weatherstripping on the Vette. Can anyone recommend a particular type that works best?

I spoke with the guys at Corvette Central and they carry domestic, domestic rubber, foreign etc...Some are my pliable than others, some too firm. I'd like recommendations directly from Vette owners.

I did my '70 about 10 years ago with a set from Corvette Rubber. Very good stuff. It fit well and the doors closed nicely after installation. Recently while reassembling the same car after paint I put Corvette America pieces on the doors and they didn't work nearly as well...I still have to give the passenger door a real firm shove to close it fully. My $1.380..
