i just got the mccord. it has i believe either a 1 or 3 year war. i think the 3yr is only for limited stuff. you can get it from byunspeed. i am real happy with it. its a nice piece. but i have not ever seen any of the others. just giving my .02 that its worth looking into.
...unless you count me pulling the wires out of the plug during header install..

I had a Qtech and it never lasted more than a few months at a time.
First time it broke I sent it back and paid to have it fixed (it broke in warranty but I was relocating and did not get to sending it off till after warranty was up) Second time it broke which was again after a month or two, I took it apart replace some stripped screws and put lock tite, it help for a week or so and it fell apart again. I called qtec and they said sure we will fix it, ship it back again, pay shipping, and pay for repairs. So I said screw it and chunked it in the garbage where it belonged.
The main problem was a poor design. The electric motor kept falling off of the assemble. Also there is a shaft from the motor assembly that went through to the butterfly flap that has some set screws, one stripped so i drilled it through and put a bolt and nut with lock tite and it held
If I ever do it again I would try the DMH it looks better built from what I have seen.

My QT lasted about 7 months then fell apart while driving. Bought another 1 and that one fell apart in 3 months the same way.
Not bashing, just givimg my experience.
