648 is the toughest, but can make things a bit difficult to undo, regular 270 and the correct torque with good clean threads should do it

Look at the data sheets for 2701 and 648.

2701 can survive 150C and 648 can survive 175C.

I would think that 2701 would be perfectly adequate, just follow their instructions to the letter and you will get the most out of the product.
