Default Questions about spark plug wires?

Spark Plug Wires:
1) When do you really need the ultra-low resistance and so forth. Is it RPM determined or?


2) Running L98 headers on angled plug heads (Dart Pro 1) do I go for straight spark plug boots or 90deg?



For instance on a 383 with stock HEI and running only up to about 5800-6000 rpm, do you really need all the fancy stuff, like:

Odd. I broke a plug wire last night while pulling them to put headers on my 383 l98 w/ dart pro 1 heads. lol (straight plugs)


Tonight, I replaced them with these:

How did that go?
How do the 90degree boots work for you?

I didn't have any trouble(I'm just your average dude w/ tools, no genius). The set I took off had 7 90's and one straight. This set had all 90's.
