If anyone wants a feature comparo of the current crop of varios then drop me a note offline. I did an analysis before I refitted my LS8.
As always, it depends on what features are important to you and what other stuff you already have. What were priority to me may not be to you. As had been mentioned before on this list, whatever you get, install it correctly. No leaks!
