To be concours correct regarding US headlights for my 74 restoration, what brand should I use from today's market availability?

Greg, I'd say Hella 1st, then Sylvania #2 (also found on USA bound 914s & usually what the dealers here sold for replacements).
You probably won't need to worry much on that even at Parade though, since they're considered wear items like tires, & most would likely have been replaced at least once by now. PS - To be absolutely correct you'd be incandescent sealed beam, since US-DOT then still had the bugaboo about Halogen headlights, but many swapped out to H4s for better lighting. Today you can get the H4 non-sealed, sealed Halogen, or sealed replacement & upgraded high power brighter ones from Hella/Sylvania without being gigged anywhere but AACA/CCCA/etc. shows, & probably not even there!
