Your choice should be consistent with the overall tenor of the other components you're using.
Maybe I should have phrased it as,"which one would more likely be on your dream bike".
but I run single pivot side pulls ._.
How about this...you can use the VO and ship me the Gran Compe.
On a more serious note, I would certainly use the GC on an old Fuji if they were available to me. If this is for something like the Mondia, it would be a toss up to me.

The Gran Compes have been pretty plentiful on Ebay recently for around 10 dollars or so. You might want to snap up a set or two while this wave lasts.
Dia Compe also made a forged version of this and one with an integral quick release. I might have examples of each around, if I run across them, I'll post the pics.
I did install a set of the VO ones on my Gran Tourer. Setup was fidgety and they are a little blocky looking out in space there once installed.
