Male Dilute: Red Head, Dilute Back, Purple Breast
Female Normal: Black Head, Normal Back, Normal Breast

I'm debating whether I should pair these two depending on the chicks they will produce. Please help me out.

Try this forcaster, interesting colour combos if you ask me.

Barring any unknown splits, and assuming "normal breast" = purple breast:

RH/BH PB Normal Males
RH/BH PB Dilute Males
RH PB Normal Hens
RH PB Yellow Hens

Thanks Tiffany for putting it so clearly. Since their is a 25% for a yellow hen and 25% for a dilute I think this wouldn't be too bad of a pair. Hmm..... Tiffany, if you had a single red head dilute what bird would you pair him with to get the most desirable chicks (desirable meaning rarer colorations)? And this not including a blue or silver because those are both way out of my reach right now.

Probably a yellow hen

That way you could get DF Yellow Males, Yellow Hens, Dilute Males, Normal Hens

Every bird would be different basically!

A yellow hen it is then! Now I only have the challenge of finding one.
