Default Which shifter?

I was looking at shifters and can't decide. I want something thats firm and short when shifting. What's better the steeda tri ax or the PRO 5.0 or Hurst?

Pro 5.0....soooo smooth and nice, firm shifts. people complain about the "clank" it makes when you hit the stops, but, i like it. its a sound of "assurance". and i need that. too often. lol

Welp, from what I hear MGW is supposed to take the cake.
Being the shortest throw and most adjustable and whatnot.
A little pricey, but for the guy that wants the best.
Go MGW
Steeda Tri-Ax would be second on my list because of the spring loaded for third.
Pro 5.0 is also a good choice, from what I hear a slightly shorter throw than the Steeda.
But you can't go wrong with any of those three.

I got the MGW, it is definitely short and clicks in. Do doubt when you have gone into the gear. I have not had the Triax or the 5.0, I made my decision based on threads in the SVTperformance.com forums from folks that have had all 3.

Yea I heard the MGW was the shiz, but my votes for the Triax, and I've driven both Pro5.0 and Triax and its the Steeda no question (if you like powershifting you want a Steeda)
