Default header wires

So I'm getting to the point where I'm ready to put my spark plug wires back on. 1987 with long tubes and after market heads. My question is should I buy the spark plug wires that go over the headers or the ones that go under? Has any one used the high temp sleeves on wires with 90° boots already on? I was looking at some but didn't think I could get the ends through. Thank you.

The sleeves fit fine ; you just need a screwdriver in the boot to straighten it out a little and guide it through the sleeve

I'll be using perimeter bolt valve covers. i thought that would afford me the most room underneath for my roller rockers. I'm going to try the short ones with the 5/16 cork gasket.
