Replacement Distributor

What is the go to replacement distributor for 14cux Rover V8? I see RN has their own proline one (https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/pli019_distributor_assy_3_5_3_9_4_2l_v_8_efi) , DUI is out of the budget for me, then I see the Pertronix D174510, D175520, and D175510. I see that some of the pertronix have their own Ignition Amplifier Modules attached and others are "two wire" set ups.
If I get the two wire set up (D175510 or D174510) do I no longer need an ignition amplifier module? the PDF of the installation instructions show that I can just hook it up to the coil https://static.speedwaymotors.com/pdf/447D175510.pdf
-What is the difference between the D174510 and the -5510?
If I get the D175520 with the amplifier module attached is that a proprietary amplifier or can I run my Rover one that I've relocated to the inner fender? Or is it better to get the two wire and ditch the amplifier all together? https://www.amazon.com/Pertronix-D1...dp/B004OXT3YI/ref=psdc_15729161_t1_B004OXKMK2

Thanks for the help!

Update for anyone that cares: I ordered a D175520 from Amazon and no spark out of the box. Tried swapping rotors to a red one and a different amp module and still nada. I was not getting spark out of the coil, so that tells me that the dizzy wasn’t talking to the amp module to tell the coil to fire. I switched in my old distributor with a crusty amp module and the truck fires right up. Going to call customer service tomorrow or just send the thing back.
