Default balancer

so after doing some thinking, i've decided to bite the bullet and just replace my balancer, hopefully it will fix my shaking problems, but if not, hey... it's still got the stocker on there, no harm no foul, right? any specific brands you guys like? performance? or should an autozone POS be fine?
