IMHO FOR the first gen F bodies the best I have used were the OER LATEX FOAM Weatherstrips which also have the metal backers molded into the ends as originals, as far as the trunk weatherstrip I have not used anything except NOS since 2010 when I couldn't get the doors or trunk to close and look correct.
The last SoffSeal weatherstrips I used needed to compress more than they would ever compress, removed them and installed NOS and everything closed like designed (no excessive effort) and did not leak.
AS AN ASIDE... these are originals which were re-dipped into black latex and then cured out in the oven at 175 deg, after curing I sprayed them with mold release agent and installed, still on the car up at Rick Hendrick's after 4 years.
