Well, I love going through the D*** dumpster....

In addition to the FSS Stacked LNB, I now have this Oval Eagle P170Ku LNB....

I'm going to be using a Wineguard 76cm Dish, or maybe use one of the SuperDish 105/121, Slimline AT9 or AU9..

Any experience with which one would be better suited for Linear FTA use on any of these?
 
According to this Eagle Aspen data sheet, the 170's are voltage switched for H & V polarity.

A Dish Network LNB off a SuperDish 105 or 121 antenna looks like the picture on the right, above, but is bandstacked.
... and has a sticker on it labeled: FSS

You should use a feedhorn that matches the shape of the dish you use.
The bigger the dish, and the better the feedhorn matches it, the better performance you'll get.

Below is a picture of a DishNet FSS LNB mated to a feedhorn off a ChannelMaster (Primestar) elliptical dish.
Which model? There were 2 oval ones
84e is 40x30
75e is 37x27

We had a member make his own feedhorn for a round dish, which performs better than the round horn off a 105 dish.
(skip to the bottom of page 2 )
That was prompted by a discussion by Pendragon, where he compared several feedhorns, and made his own.
