Where are you located..??
Elevation where you do most of your riding can affect the choice.

Follow the instructions. Bolt it on and ride it to see what it needs by following the tuning instructions that came with the carb. The new one I put on my stock '98 Ultra was jetted perfect out of the box with idle mixture adjustment only. I know we are at different elevations, but the stock jetting will most likely be pretty darn close and the same as the Super E that is on my FXR with the Andrews 27.
