S10 frame vs Camaro/Original frame

I am building two trucks, a 48 and a 54, both short beds and both with SBC. I managed to come up with the following frames, don't ask, it's a long sad story of learning what I am trying to do.

78 Camaro front clip on a stock frame with a Camaro rear end
79 Firebird front clip on a stock frame with a Firebird rear end
82 S10 bare frame
85 S10 complete truck

I've read some pros and cons to both style of frames, and so I'm asking for some thoughts on this subject.

The trucks will not be lowered a lot, or bagged, but lower than stock height. We want them a little lower, but with the cab set up high enough so the floor of the bed does not have to be raised.

So are there any advantages to the clipped frame versus the S10 frame for this type of set up?

If you need more information to help, let me know.
