Default Clutch Masters, are they all the same?

Hi guys.
Well, I experienced the dreaded sticking pedal yesterday on a hard launch. My car is a stock '00 WS6 Formula.
My question is when looking for a stock replacement clutch master how many manufacturers of this part are there? I searched eBay and found about 6-8 different listings of what appears to be the same part. Dorman, Perfection, Banhof, Luk, AC Delco, etc. Prices range from $36 to over $100.
There cannot be that many manufacturers of this part so which one do you buy?
Thanks

Honestly I'd save up and go with a tick master. Lifetime warranty, adjustable, improves shifting. With another stock master you could end up with the same problem.

If you only want a stock replacement though I and many others I know have just got whatever one oriellys and autozone carry. Also, Spec carries an oem replacement that is adjustable for $175. Haven't heard much about it but it might be worth looking into.

Another +1 for Tick. I never bothered with any OEM style masters. I'd rather pay to do it once the right way.

If you need to replace the Master then it just makes sense to go with an adjustable unit. As noted, we offer one for $175. Let me know if you need one and I will be happy to assist you. Thanks!
