I've had my Whisper lid for years and love it but if I were buying a new one right now I might consider the TSP (Texas Speed) as well.

Lid, is a lid, is a lid. They all perform nearly the same. Pick one based on price or appearence not performance.

I've got the SLP unit, and that's because I liked the material that it's made from. It's very close to the OEM unit in that arena, in that it will last. They all perform about the same. None of them really fit all that well I think, and you do have to watch what you get, or you'll be replacing it soon. People have made complaints about certain ones disintegrating prematurely from being made from low grade plastic. I also think that they're all over priced for what they are though.
