You really do not need to have a toggle at the top of your lower shrouds on that boat type. As long as the tangs on the mast line up with the load of the cable (this is a must anyway) no toggles will be needed. Especially with the sta-lok terminal. There will only be more weight and parts and pins and windage with no real advantage.
That said, the Eye/Jaw type of toggle you describe will work just as well as a Jaw/Jaw type toggle, which is what comes on the sta-lok fitting. Your mast , from your descrition, has a pair of tangs which accept an eye in between them, and the sta-lok toggle terminal is designed to fit to a single tang at mast (really its designed to fit to a lug on a mast for a sail carrying stay) , so won't really work in your app anyway.
If you want a toggle there, you are doing it the right way with an eye/jaw toggle.
