What shifter is best?

RE: What shifter is best?
Has anyone used the B&M Ripper?
I tried several in my 2003 GT (3650 M5) MGW, B&M, Pro 5.0. Steeda and the B&M was by far the best.
The Pro 5.0 and Steeda felt like junk and were very notchy, the MGW just felt plain wrong.
The B&M felt nice and soild and the shifts were short and smooth. The B&M also looks like a much nicer part when compared side by side vs the Pro 5.0 or Steeda as for the MGW well they look very nice almost pretty.
The other thing I liked about the B&M was the fact that they took the time make a nice handle, it sits where it should and it doesn't smash the **** out of the shift boot.

I say Steeda, because I have one, and it feels very nice. Notchy? Yes, a little, but the Pro5.0 I felt in a 98(? not sure on the year, it was 4.6 SN95) Cobra feels pretty close to the same... all are very nice, much better than the stock shifter.
Also, I don't have any problems with my shifter and the shift boot. It has plenty of clearance, no rubbing.
