Pro 5.0 is the best. Ive owned the Hurst, the B&M, and the Pro 5.0. The Hurst is notchy, the B&M makes creaking noises, the Pro 5.0 is amazing. Loved it so much i bought another when i switched to the TR6060 and another for my 2002 GT.

MGW. It is the most adjustable and you cannot beat MGW's customer service. It also feels fantastic, and I've used probably every brand out there.

My knob feels fantastic too!! I have the Hurst STS. Everyone and every car is different. It's whatever you prefer.

FWIW I use the Pro 5.0 shifter, with the hurst handle and shift knob. Best looks and best shifter.

I have an MGW and i have driven the Pro 5.0, PRo was nice and easy to shift but the MGW just feels increidble. The MGW is adjustable (underneath the car), so you can have it notchy with some resistance so you can bang the shifts hard or you can make it light and easy, but any setting you put it on its very smooooooth. I have it at 7 turns of 10(shortest), when the im in 1st it looks like im in nuetral with the stock shifter.

Heres my insanely long review of the MGW, should answer any questions you have:

Pro 5.0

Hurst sucks if you actually want to bang some gears, I have yet to miss a gear with my pro 5.0.
Hey, don't be hating on the Hurst! You just don't know how to bang your knob, that's all:omfg:

MGW hands down. I have it on 10 turns, the shortest throw. I've got to say, it is incredible to drive with and the notchyness of the shifter goes away for the most part. I love it.

I like the Roush one and I power shift it with no problems. Just depends on what feels good to you.
