well IMO, stock shifters are best all around. But then again I have a short shifter and I gotta admit, does feel a little better (shorter throw, stiffer). Just really depends on if you wanna spend that $40-150 for one just for the hell of it. Break down, B&M short shifters are about $30-50 bucks new, available in dual bend or counter weight. DC sports are mostly around $65+, skunk2 (got one of these, very nice indeed) are around $100+. Or you can always go ebay for about $10 shipped (broke 2 of these already, even still got my dc sports <<broke that one too, but I guess it depends on if you power shift or not).
