I chose Steeda because its the most comfortable of them all (to my knowledge). I don't know much about Hurst or B&M though but compared to the Pro5.0 its alittle bit longer throw and more comfortable.

I test drove a '03 Cobra with the Steeda Tri ax and I didnt really like it because the handle was set to the top setting and the know almost stood above the raido controls which made it a really long throw. I bought the Pro 5.0 because its such a short throw. I have only missed third a few times with it compared to the numerous times with the stocker!

When going from stock to a short throw, I mentioned the Pro 5 to the tranny tech at the Ford house where I bought my Mach1, and he told me he had had some problems with the Pro 5 and suggested the Steeda Tri X instead. Well, I didn't question his expertise, so went with the Steeda. I love it, because of it's crispness. I too don't miss 3rd anymore.
