Technical Looking for opinions in rear springs

Hello! I'm getting ready to buy new springs for the rear of my '60 Biscayne, but I'm having a hard time deciding what to get. I'm tired of the drive line rub, time it takes to swap rear wheels, and all the other headaches of having the rear low. The car as two coils cut all around right now, and I'm planning on keeping the front low (I like the look of a good rake just as much as I like em real low). My options are the standard, heavy duty, or station springs. They are all within ten bucks of each other.

Standard: 16.84" free height, 11" compressed, 276 spring rate

Heavy duty: 16.44 free height, 11" compressed, 370 spring rate

Wagon: 17.12" free height, 11.25" compressed, 499 rate

I know a lot of guys say to go with wagon springs, but I'm unsure if that would be too stiff for the car. What do you guys think? I will also be adding air shocks in the near future, so it is also a factor in my decision.

 

I had a 66 Chevy 4 door.
Really nice car but weak rear springs.
I got a pair of station wagon springs from a 66 wagon at the salvage yard and it was a huge improvement.

The ride and ride height was perfect and you could actually carry a decent load in the big trunk.

 

Call Eaton and ask their tech guys for a recommendation.

That's a good point, maybe I should do air shocks first and then springs later if I feel like I need the extra spring height. Here's a pic of the car with the stock coils in the rear (albeit they were pretty sacked out) with cut coils in front. This pic also has 215/75R14s in back, and I'm running 235/75R15s now, so that adds about an extra 3/4 to 1 inch to the rake right there...

 

Stock ride height, and really fat wheels all round. Plus front and rear sway bars
It will handle and look good.
