I've got the MGW on my 3650 and it's awesome.

Don't discredit the rest of the Tri-Axes, but I haven't had such a great experience. I bought mine used with less than 200 miles on it, put it in and I can't even tell it's a short throw. Steeda has been none to cooperative in helping me diagnose the problem I'd go with MGW.

I have a B&M ripper and freakin love it... throws are so smooth and quick.... very very nice piece

the only down side is that since the shifter arm itself is one piece... its not adjustable

adder have you tried a mgw?
if so how to the two compare, besides that the mgw is adjustable... any difference in the length of the throw?

I have driven a few cars and they have had a few different shifters. I have a Steeda in my personal car and it's my favorite. I have used both kinds of Hurst shifters, the Competetion Plus and Billet Plus. The Billet Plus is not bad but the Comp plus is very notchy and I didn't like it. The B&M Ripper is ok but the Pro Ripper by B&M is much better. If you are into drag racing you just can't beat the Pro 5.0, it's the most direct shifter but not as comfortable as the Steeda.

I have not tried an MGW. I have heard a few complaints about people missing 3rd gear with them. Perhaps I'll try one when I get my T56 installed!
