Default Best SFI balancer for LS1?

looking to get a SFI legal balancer for my TA. I was wondering what everyone was running and if anyone had any problems out of some. I know the ATI and fludamper are like $360+ while the powerbond and others are under $200. Just want some opinions.

If money wasn't a factor or if using a blower I'd go with ATI.
Otherwise I'd go with Romac (same company as rollmaster) or Pioneer. Both are Australian companies so it has to be better made than the other Chinese made junk they're pawning off on us. Plus they're reasonably priced.

I would forgo the Romac, many of the Ford guys have been having problems with high speed vibrations and cracked cranks. I was a Romac fan at one time, but not any longer.

Buy the best the first time and be done with it......ATI.

I know a lot of guys are running the powerbond stuff. I haven't heard any bad things and atleast they are reasonable in pricing.
