Im assuming cream and beige ones are the same. Apparently the spray pattern is far superior on the blues. They will be good for more power aswell.

blues are better on shorter inlet tracts such as tb's as they have a wider spray pattern that helps fuel atomise quicker.

engine is looking very good mate, when cutting down the fuel rail follow the instructions on the jenvey website as I am not sure if I printed it out and put it in with the pack for you.
