Default 96 drop top daily driver... SFC's?

You'll have to excuse me guys, as I've recently came off of the bowtie side of things when it comes to pony cars (loved my crown vic, though!) so most of my knowledge comes from those... Anyways, I recently purchased a nice, bone stock 96 GT convertible for use as my daily driver and was wondering if its advisable to install SFC's on such a vehicle? I know when it comes to "the other side's" t-tops and 'verts that SFC's are very popular, even on DD's just to stiffen it up and help prevent rattles (and leaks on the T's). Do these wisdoms hold equally true on the Blue ovals or would money best be spent on fuel and ladies?

After digging a little more, it looks like my two best options would either be Steeda zinc plated full length, or the MM powder coated full length units. Any thoughts on that choice?

Thanks!

Any thoughts on the FRPP units? Or would I be best just going with, oh jeez the name just slipped my mind but I think they come in powder coat as well as another version and have a nice transverse bar that runs under the seat bolts...
