ST 3500 does well on the spray and good NA 60'.

Vig 3600 will do very well in 60' but efficency leaves something to be desired.

No real experience with MW.

I would look no further than the SS3800. It will give you the hard 60' like the Vig and give you very high efficiency on the spray. The ST3500 is the best choice of the converters that you listed for all-around. If you can pick one up used, then go for it. If you are buying new, then go with the latest technology. The 21 blade stator on the SS3800 makes it a awesome in every application.

if mw is midwest i believe they are the same as vigilantes. i have a vig 3200 and love it. mines some kinda freak though cause it 60's like no other. i wish efficiency was a little better though. what mods do you plan on? maybe a pt4000? 4400 could be a little big. my converter is tiny for my mods though.
