Best way to mount Wildebeest?

I love to overthink things and would appreciate your indulgence.

Currently trying to get some sort of taxidermy game plan together for my upcoming hunt. One of my priority targets is a Niassa Wildebeest. I think they are the most handsome of the wildebeest. I tend to prefer euros of everything, and initially thought to do a rug, but not sure if that would do it justice. Is a shoulder mount the way to go or is there a better way to present more of the stripes and the white chevron?
This is a great problem to have! I wish you luck. May I ask who you are hunting Niassa with?
I’m headed there next August.
 
I wanted all that beautiful blue/black brindle hide I could fit on a wall mount. I wish I had a picture from the back of this bull as his neck really shows off the color and the horn spread.

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
