Spring comparison help

Hey guys I’m going to be putting a set of comp 101200(272) in my car. I have read mixed reviews on evo springs so I’ve decided those aren’t for my setup, but I will be using evo retainers. My question is which springs I should go with? I’ve narrowed my decision to two sets BC 1100 or Manley 22190-16. I've read that the BC 1100 are a great choice when upgrading your cams, also BogusSVO stands by them in almost every post I’ve read. I was going to pull the trigger on those but then I came across the Manley’s, their specs are close to the BC's. I’ve only read this, http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/cylinder-head-short-block/389968-bc-280s-evo-8-springs.html, on the Manley’s. It says they are good enough for 280s and 288s, so they should be good for 272s right? Any info on these would be greatly appreciated and make my decision easier. The price is not an issue I've got quotes for both and there is a .35 cent differance.

BC1100 Seat: 1.550" @ 95 lbs / Open: 1.000" @ 235 lbs / Coil Bind: 0.935"
Manley22190-16 Seat: 1.500”@ 92 lbs / Open: 1.000” @237 lbs / Coil Bind: .950”

You cannot use EVO 4-9 retainers with the BC100 or Manley springs you listed. They are not beehives like the stock EVO springs. You'd need to reuse your stock steel retainers or I believe Manley makes a set of titanium retainers to go with their springs but for that price you could get a set of Kiggly beehives which come with titanium retainers and are overall lighter.
