There is no benefit in joining the runners in a specific order. There is however a benefit of having them all equal length for smoother spool up. As that way the gas feed is constant rather than sometimes more sometimes less like on uneven runners.UrS6 Stroker + HTA3586 =

If your going to get them to make you a manifold My choice of material would be 321.
Most people make manifolds out of 304 but there is several advantages of using
321, 321 is alloyed with titanium for high temp stabilisation, the titanium bonds very strongly to the carbon even at very high temperatures and this eliminates carbide precipitation and thus keeps the chromium where it should be and prevents intergranular corrosion.
304 is not as fatigue resistant at high temps and the only real benefit I can see is that it is cheaper than 321, but if your manifold is going to fail quicker made with 304 then in my opinion it is false economy .
Of course if your really flush you could have it made from Inconel.
