Per my experience using them in the 80's, the Modolo 919 "Anatomic" hoods are really nice plus very very comfortable, but just way too expensive these days if you can find them. They also tend to dry rot really quick (Much quicker than most other hoods I have used.), once you start using them and exposing them to the elements.
Dia Compes had always been good quality but economical replacements, if you do not mind non-originslity. You just want to make sure you get the correct model hoods for best fit and appearance.
you might also check into Rustines hoods as I think they might make hoods that will specifically fit the Modolo lever bodies, so they won't have unsightly gaps around them when installed, unlike many other "universal" replacement hoods.
