Default Which thermostat and why?

Hi guys finally got my FE expansion tank and will give it a face lift tomorrow...Wondering which thermostat to use and why.
Our typical summer days can range from 70 to 95 and at 95 to 100 we call those unusual and "heatwave" days.....not typical

I plan on using a large electric puller fan. No pushers...The rad is a nice custom brass 4 core and the cobra nose is well shrouded to direct air thru the rad.

The old timer at the rad shop tossed me a new thermostat and rad cap for my facelift, thinking he had given me a 180, it turned out to be a 160.
(no glasses on) So I would like some suggestions before it gets installed.

TIA!

Tim

PS thermostat housing flange to intake didn't look too bad, a little glass beading should clean it up so..any suggestions on gasket sealant??
