From what I've read the dual bend is the way to go. It keeps the shift knob at the stock height.

don't go B&M if yoou can help it. I have the B&M and it rattles like crazy around 3500rpm. I'm fairly sure the skink 2 doesn't do that.

word on HAN is that the B&M rattles like a mofo and that the skunk 2 is great.
I also heard the dc sports one is good. I ordered a dc sport short shifter last week, but because it wasnt in stock its still on order so I havnt received it yet. I cant wait tho...

I have the Skunk2 dual bend shifter and I have no rattles, it sits at a stock height and has a great feel to it. I recommend it.
