I went with the Sparco GT seats, their sliders, and their bases in my ‘70.
Similar style to the 70 seats with low back and head rest.
Head rest allows a clip in 4 point harness to be used
Seats recline and fold forward and have lumbar adjustment and nice bolstering.
Needed because autocross and track day stuff.
Bagged up the originals and put in storage.
This looks great! Where did you attach the shoulder straps of your harnesses? It looks from the picture like the back seat seatbelt anchors?

My approach isn't unique, but I did the TMI covers a few years ago so thought would share my experience. My choice was based on wanting to look somewhat like stock but with additional side bolster that would fit with my door bars and counsel. I also wanted to be able to get matching covers for the rear seats. Like Rocket Dawg, mine are not new seats but are new foams and covers for the fronts using stock frames. The rears are new covers only and use stock frames and foams so no bolsters or anything in the rear. The pattern I chose only had the stitching color as optional. I preferred not to have the TMI logo. They offered to take it off but at a ridiculous cost so left it on. I was really impressed with the quality of the covers and the ease of installation. Either the seat bottom foams to me are a little soft or my springs are. I added some additional foam between the springs and the seat bottom. I couldn't go too far though as I am 5'10 and with a baseball hat on my head slightly brushed one piece headliner. For me it worked to just shim up the front of the seat tracks to tilt back the entire seat. I am quite satisfied with the comfort and the looks.

Would be interested in seeing a full picture of your hood. Did you buy it with the louvers/vents or add them afterwards?
