Driveshaft angle.....
To get the full picture you have to include the height of the ends of the driveshaft too. Pinion angle is directly related to driveshaft angle and both have to be moved accordingly. Just look at some of the rock crawlers.
My trans is angled down a bit and my pinion is down a bit but because they are at different heights the driveshaft angles should be ok. A lot of cars are setup this way and don't have problems, but you never really know till you drive them.
Just make sure to go more by the driveshaft angle for vibration control and and pinion angle for deciding how you want the car to handle depending on the setup. You can change a lot with 3 inches of height difference at the trans tail shaft.
