Always Rye unless you want it crazy sweet.
And I think High West double is a good choice.
Easily as important is your choice of vermouth. Remember - vermouth is wine and you've got ~18 hours from the time it opens until the time it's garbage.
Cocchi di Torino and my personal favorite Dolin Sweet are available in 375s.

Haven't bought vermouth in a few years. I just make my own. Don't give a fuck if anyone thinks that's gay. Often I even make out of cider or traditional mead (just honey and water) instead of wine. Anyway this way I can experiment and focus on flavors I prefer. Tend to aim for something semi-sweet since I generally prefer a "perfect" Manhattan anyway.

If you’re going to the trouble of a seafood soup, is not cioppino what you need to be making?
Just bought some of this last night. Haven't cracked it yet. It could be shit, it may be great. Mrs. Throbber liked the bottle.
If that leads to a handy, I'm fine with that selection criteria.
Funny enuff I PM’d Rape Dwag about their high rye content bourbon just the other day. Haven’t tried their straight rye.
I have two Woodford Reserves - have sipped on the Malt Whiskey and it was tasty. Have been saving a bottle of a special collection of their rye for when Mrs. Throbber either wants to give multiple handys or isn't into handys any more.
Drink in the good times, drink in the bad times.
