What is the best short throw shifter for the LS1??

What short throw shifter is good to use? The B&M, kirban, pro 5.0, Lou stick, Hurst are all of them pretty much the same? Like in size and design? What differs between of all the short throw shifters that are in the market? What do you guys and gals like and perfer to use? Also any pics?

Hurst Billet Plus here and I'm happy - it sounds and feels very "mechanical", but works slick.

Ive got a Pro 5.0 shifter w/ short stick, like above... it feels more rough, but shifts pretty dang quick.

$55 shipped for a used hurst shifter from an SS/WS6

$50 shipped for a lou's short stick...

i think its damn close to any shifter you pay upwards of $200 for. besides that fact that i have a short stick. the distance from 1st to 2nd gear is right around 3.5"....short enough to do it with my wrist.

so for $175 for a pro 5.0, $50 for a short stick....

or $105 for a shifter pretty damn close
