Good question, I am sure Bob will chime in soon.
In 2011, for ERA2136 (with QT Bell housing / Iron block 302), I went with an external setup from Mike Forte and it fit, don't know if things have changed with the newer ERAs. It was a generic kit, so I did modify the setup slightly to tweak the geometry a bit, to get it to work the way I wanted it to. The hydraulic TOB would probably be easier to install, and should be quite reliable as many production cars use them. The advantage of the external configuration is should it leak, it's a lot easier to fix than the hydraulic TOB. Just one more choice to be made when building a Cobra ...
