Default Control Arms

Out of the three which lower control arms would be best? For a drag car. South Side Machine, Saleen, or Lakewood Traction Bars(I dont like these, they are loud and clunky). For fox body mustang. Thanks for the help.

I've got maximum motorsports extreme duty arms, these things are beasts, but so was the price tag. 450 for them. But I bought them in mind of using them when I do my panhard/torque arm, because they are the same control arms as in the MM kit.
