Which headset? (Sorted)

There's a pattern emerging...  :D

Looking to replace my YST sealed headsets and have narrowed it down to these...

Tange Levin CDS

Tange Levin JIS

Tange Levin Alloy (NJS)

I think it's a no brainer and is going to be the NJS but will have course bow to greater knowledge

LMK what you guys think...

I'm assuming I can use any of these with 1" threaded forks with a 21.1mm stem?  :-[

Thanks

C'mon all - someone must have an opinion!

HEYWOOD BMX:
 Not sure any of the above will fit- BMX 1" threaded headsets are not the same diameter as regular road/commuter 1" headsets.Moley`ll know the correct size,think it`s 32.7mm ?

You've made me look into this a bit further and now it's doing my head in

I'm swimming in all sorts of Diameter's and stuff.

If anyone can tell me what the bigger and smaller dia's mean and stack heights, oh and anything else I need to think about, or what head tube and fork measurements I need to take, then pls put me out of my misery...  :-\

Thx

Lamby

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) Stack heights generally refer to new school 1 1 /8 aheadsets,basically the total height of the headset top to bottom when fitted.Be easier just to buy a standard BMX specific 1" inch threaded headset,not all are mega expensive or rare.Generallee has some VP headsets in the For Sale section or try PMing JT71 or JTSmooth...
