Default Which Flywheel?

I have a choice of 2 flywheels for my 427 FE. One is a cast item weighing around 20lb and the other is a McLeod steel item weighing around 37lb. Which one should I use?
I have a Lakewood bellhousing, so the cast flywheel doesn't pose a threat to my ankles if that was the best choice.

My immediate thought would be to go for the steel flywheel, but it weighs almost twice as much as the cast item.
