I personally would suggest the Patriot 5.3's. That's what I have. I'm sure all of the other companys have great products too. Choose what's best for your budget and do alot of research before you purchase anything. That's what I did. Good luck.

PP 5.3 vs ARE S1

Neither IMO.

TEA, Absolute or MTI all have competive heads. My personal preference is TEA.
