I have the hurst and it is great. I guess its just a personal preference, but my vote is Hurst.

I haven't tried any of the others but the Pro 5.0 is great.

My vote is for Pro 5.0. I have one and its great, plus is got enough threads to cut it an inch and still have plently to get the shift **** on. I think its smoother shifting then my buddys B&M.

When my car was still an M6, I had the Hurst Comp+, and it was pretty good. Then I switched to the Pro 5.0 and it was great!

They're all pretty much the same thing. The only one that may be sub-par is the competition Hurst. If you get the Hurst make sure it's the Billet Plus model.

I got the Hurst Billet because it was the cheapest and the handles are easily changed out. I have a Lou's short stick on mine and the throws are almost too short!

Pro 5.0 all the way and cut the treads by 1.25". It is a great feeling

i got the B&M ripper, nice short shifts, but can be kinda notchy. Still a great strong shifter.

Pro 5.0 all the way. I had a B&M and didnt really like it. I got a 5.0 and swapped them out, and I love the new shifter. Its got the short stick, but i recommend just cuttin the old one down a bit. Dont mess around with other shifters, get the Pro 5.0 and be done with it

IMO Pro 5.0 w/ Lou short stick is hands down the best.

I like my B&M ripper a lot. Short throws big time, I like the all aluminum design.
