Thanks for answering my question Jim. I'll go with the deep dimple ones. 
Sorry for your confusion over my calling the available replacement ones "stock", no I don't have any NOS ones.

Where are you going to buy "stock" ones from? Do you have a supply of 
NOS ones? As I understand it, the original design has not been made in 
many years, the replacements having a more shallow dimple than original 
(which many people don't like -- this is why the "deep dimple" ones are 
touted as an improvement).
