Genuine JDM ITR one, or a Skank2.

Skank2 is heavy.

A tip for when you put the new shift knob on: o put a zip tie or or rubber band or something on the shifter itself to hold the boot up to the knob. You have to take off the center console to do this, and then after you put the zip ties when you put the console and boot back over the shifter the zip tie or whatever will hold the boot up. This way you don't get an ooglay gap of the shifter poking out from the boot below where the knob starts.

I don't like how the shifter shows, but people seem to dig that look.

I used electrical tape which works the same, and you don't have to remove the console.

I like the feel of the ITR & Skank2 knobs,the only downside is: when it's hot out, so is the knob, when it's cold, so is the knob, so it's a pain sometimes.

I kind of like the EP3 knob. It's semi-Type R looking I guess.

The Skank2 is the best bang for the buck, just a tad heavy for my liking.
