Default the best short throw shifter

What is the best short throw shifter for a 98 GT? Are the $70 ebay ones any good? or would i be better off spending $280 for a Roush, or $170 for a Fidanza? What about hurst and B&M? Also, what brand makes the spring loaded shifters?

MGW is said to be the best. Pro 5.0 and Steeda Tri-Ax are other great brands. Anything will be an improvement over stock...but id be hesitant about the cheap ebay ones.

+1, I have heard the UPR Blue Thunder shifters are decent too? But i cant back that up. Does anyone have a Blue Thunder shifter?

i got one from ebay for $115 shipped. its a roll-x. it is great quality and very comparable to my friends steeda tri-ax.

i had a friend that bought one from ebay for $60 and it was only good for a paper weight.
