Default Ignition systems

Wanted some opinions on decent but not too expensive ignition systems for my car. Also who has what and how do you like it?

I've got the MSD 6AL. Works great. I'll recommend MSD anyday.

Now most of those I've seen don't come with a coil right? I've also been looking at the accel 300+, looks pretty nice.

I was talking to mello on AIM yesterday and she said some of her friend had jacobs and went to MSD. The jacobs look nice to me so I don't know. They are def more expensive but sound like they do a lot more. Plus they've got that setup specifically for the 5.0

digital 6plus its an ignition that will do more than youll ever need it to 2 different revlimiters, timing retard, very low current draw. 350 bucks find a jacobs or accell that does all that for the price, combined with any msd ciol it will work perfect, msd makes a wirering harness that requires no cutting. call summit racing 1-800-230-3030.

I've been reading a few books on helping the 5.0 motor, and when it comes to ignition, the first thing all of them say is...........
MSD
The Digital 6 does sound like a nice unit, but they've never been mentioned in any of the books I've read.
