This is a mostly strip car now with occasional street time. It only has 19k miles! ha.
But yeah...I think a spool is best. I don't need the slip for street use.

A 9" weighs around 20lbs more than an 8.8. But if you pick up an aluminum center section they are very close in weight. For a mostly strip car, the 9" would give the most longevity without having to upgrade it later. You can throw so much at a 9" and it will never even blink. But the 8.8 always has the chance to skip the pinion right up the ring, no matter how strong the axles are. There is less engagement on an 8.8 ring vs a 9".
Spool or mini spool in place of your broken spiders, is great as well if mostly strip!
