4L70 Reverse pattern-What shifter?

I am getting a 4L70 and I need a shifter for it. I am getting a reverse manual body with it. I like the Hurst Quarter stick, but it looks like they don't make a 4 speed with a reverse gate. Any suggestions?

I went with a B&M Pro Ratchet.
Avail. with reverse gate and just barely got my console to fit over it.
I think it was 179.99 from Jeg's.

How is the Pro Ratchet with everyday driving?

I don't have any problems with it, I used to have an M6 so shifting was something I wanted to keep in my control.
It's good.

I had a quarter stick in another car and it sucked.

I prefer a ratchet shifter. I like the Pro Ratchet the best.

I will probably do the Pro Ratchet then, sounds good to me. I was wondering if downshifting is o.k. with the ratchet also. Anyway, thanks for the advise.
