I would use the ST bottom end with a black top head, not only does controlling the VVC make it harder from a mapping point of view but the ST170 head is prone to warping so I was told by Simon at Sitech (I've never actually tried one myself though)..
Inlet you can use a black top one.
Wiring will be down to what management you choose.
