I have the pro 5.0 with the ws6store short stick and love it. Haven't had a problem with it. I've heard it's not the best for road racing If that's what your into.

Your gonna geat great feedback for every shifter there is.
The Pro 5.0 is loved by a lot of people but some say its too notchy.
I have a Hurst Billet and love it. Its not notchy at all and I dont miss shifts with it. Hurst can also rebuild them for pretty cheap.
Ive read a lot of people dont like the B&M. You can change the stick on them, it has to be cut.
The MGW shifters get great review but dont have stop neither, so you will be back at square one.

MGW shifter is the ****. you will never regret it. People complain how they don't have a stop, but in the installation guide of my friend's '02 mustang for the mgw shifter that does have stops it says it is best to not use them because the stops can cause it to slip out of gear causing damage. Our transmissions have internal stops for a reason. and I have not had a problem with my transmission since putting my MGW in.

I just bought and installed a used pro 5.0, removed the stops completely
it was pretty old and the springs were worn out, so I shimmed them to stiffen it up, added a spacer so the stick sat closer to me, and chopped an inch off of it. it's very tight and positive feeling, wayyyyy better than stock and a factory hurst

I had a Pro 5.0 with a Lou's Short Stick for about 5 years, and really liked that combo. Put a TH400 in my car for a year, and then went back to a built T56 with the Hurst Billet Plus shifter. I understand what people mean about the Pro 5.0 feeling "notchy" now that I have a different shifter, and
after owning both I prefer the feel of the Hurst Billet Plus.
