 whats the difference with the skyway ta, arched rear brake bridge, and the straight rear brake bridge. and is 1 the more sought after, than the other??? 

[brummie]

the straight bridge was only believed to have been made in 84 ( however with all bmx's i have seen exceptions to the rule [ a late 83 ] )
all the xl's have a straight bridge ( all 84's )
other than that naff all difference

There is also the 83 USA made curved brake bridge.
The Jap one's are usually pretty  sought after been earlier .

The weep holes are in different places too, i think on the US ones they're right on the drop outs and on the Jap ones they are about 10 mil back up the tubes.

Also the all chromoly tube sticker was in a different font and had black lettering earlier one. I did have one but lost it when i moved.

or it could be the other way around.

There are two other variants out there that i know of, not including the re-welds of recent years, but the two already mentioned are the most common.
