Default which sfc? and why

Just as the title says, I am planning on getting a set of SFC's and am in a bind on which to get and why. Is there really a big difference between brands or are they all the same and some just cost more due to the name stamped on them. So if all would help me in deciding on which to get i would greatly appreciate it. I seen 4 different style on AM and am not sure to which to get and which is better. they are as followed:

Mustang Full Length Subframe Connectors (79-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
Steeda Full Length Subframe Connector (79-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors (79-04) - Bare Steel at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
J&M Mustang Full Length Subframe Connectors (79-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Well the steeda and MM have the reinforcement pieces which is a plus. I wouldn't even bother with the J&M (I don't see any cross pieces to reinforce under the seat area.)
The cheapies don't look that bad and look like they are preassembled in the pics with the cross pieces which would be a major plus if you can't weld.
I can tell you I love my MM ones, BIG difference in the siffness of the car.

I did quite a bit of research on this subject and ended up settling with MM bare steel and coating them myself.

What were the main reasons to why you choose MM over lets say Steeda? just wondering cause those are the main two that i am debating on.

Whatever you do, get full lenth sfcs. I have MM that I coated myself and am very happy with the results. they fit perfectly.

well based on all the pictures i've seen they look like the same exact thing, but the MM's are cheaper. that's why i decided to go with them.

BTW stangsuspension has the MM sfc for cheaper than AM does

To be honest its like this.
I wanted to drop my car but the H&R's from MM have a slightly bigger drop then Steeda.
So I bought Steeda sport springs.......then
MM panhard
full length powdercoated frame connectors
rear lower control arms with the sperical end on the axle side
MM spring isolators
Caster Camber plates etc
Bilsteins
Usually if I am going to do a susspension I am going to pick one manufacturer and get everything from them to make sure everything works together.
I just wish MM sold springs with a smaller drop at the time.
