I wouldn't use the deep Nippy sump from choice. Firstly, the oil struggles to get up to temperature and secondly, it makes removal of the engine an absolute sod if it is in a production model with the usual bulkhead.
The shallower sump with the angled front is best in my opinion. It adds useful rigidity to the base of the crankcase and the engine is still easy to remove from the chassis. The capacity is not much more than the standard tin sump if you take into account the thickness of the casting and the internal stiffening webs.
I also like the idea of replacing the usual sump bolts with studs.
