TR4/4A Suspension and drivetrain components

This is probably a strange question, but as I start putting together parts for my 67/68 TR4a IRS I have to wonder which ones would be best to use. I know the answer is the one in the best shape, but I have 2 TR6s and 3 TR4as and all of the suspension/drivetrain bits look to be good. Are there any particular years, suppliers, etc. that would be best to use since my available parts span 66-73?
Thanks, Rut
 
What Marv said! I bet as you clean them up you'll find a wide variation in condition. Many a time once I got the crust off a suspension part I wound up finding an issue where I decided to toss that part and clean up the next one.
 
The trailing arms for the 4A are different than the 6 slightly. Look at the coil spring seats.
