F250 rear end better than F100 rear end for hot rod truck?

[jej1]

For a 1948 Ford F1 that is going to make around 500hp, what rear end is ideal?

All you ever hear about is the "invincible" Ford 9" rear and the 8.8", but those were in a lot of light duty vehicles... Why doesn't anyone ever seem to suggest the rear end from a F250 or F350?
