Default need help deciding

ok guys(and girls)....next week, when i get paid, im ordering a short-throw shifter. i know a lot of people running B&M and Hurst and some running Steeda but nobody with a Pro 5.0. nobody likes Hurst and Steeda and damn near everybody likes, if not loves B&M. now, one of my friends said to go w/ a Pro 5.0. he told me hes seen 2 B&M shifters break personally and ive heard Hurst's rattle badly. so, what do you all think ?? i need opinions on throw, feel, comfort, noise(if any), price, etc, etc. i really, REALLY want a shifter now. so, any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks !!!

I have the Pro 5.0 and I LOVE IT!!!!! There is really no noise what so ever. When you shift it is a solid shift and you cn hear it hit the adjustment screw which I like. I love mine.

Lot's of people prefer the Steeda Tri-Ax

I've got it in my car, but I can't drive too well as it is.

i really dont mind the stock one. i can bang gears with the best of 'em(and no power shifting/speed shifting). not on my baby. but, i just look at it like if i have a short-throw, ill be able to shift that much faster and that much smoother.......HOPEFULLY

I have the pro 5.0 and love it. Of course I have nothing to compare it to. It came with the car when I bought it. It does make some weird noises, but all the short throw shifters should. (from what I hear. I'm no expert.)
